The Trade Desk is changing the way global brands and their agencies advertise to audiences around the world. How? With a media-buying platform that helps brands deliver a more insightful and relevant ad experience for consumers — and sets a new standard for global reach, accuracy, and transparency.

So if you’re talented, driven, creative, and hungry to bring something entirely new and wildly ambitious into the world (and have some fun doing it), then we want to talk.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

As The Trade Desk grows, we require excellent leadership at all levels. Therefore, we are seeking an experienced hands-on Senior Commercial Counsel to team up with key stakeholders on our business development, inventory and data partnerships, and finance teams to analyze complex legal issues, find creative solutions, effectively negotiate deals, and enable the company’s continued growth. We want collaborators who will help develop scaled strategies for addressing risk and, hopefully, contribute some humor to our legal slack channel. Please be able to balance competing demands, work independently, and maintain a positive attitude. The Senior Commercial Counsel will report to the Deputy General Counsel and will be part of the global legal team. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

  • Structure, draft, review, negotiate, and manage a variety of commercial agreements including master service agreements, supplier agreements, data and measurement agreements, and first-of-a-kind agreements with strategic partners;
  • Continually improve our legal commercial processes to help us scale globally with a consistent but locally relevant approach and to help the company to move quickly and thoughtfully;
  • Mentor and lead other attorneys;
  • Provide practical advice on legal issues and risks, complex agreement structures and company policies in a risk-tolerant, but compliance-oriented environment;
  • Identify, research, analyze, and advise teams on a wide range of relevant legal topics (e.g., licensing, intellectual property, commercial, data security, and privacy law), issues, and risks;
  • Keep abreast of legislative changes that may affect the company globally.

WHO YOU ARE:

  • 8+ years inhouse or in combination with an internationally/nationally recognized law firm experience required;
  • Admitted to practice in New York or the ability to register as In-House Counsel in New York;
  • Juris doctorate from a top-ranked US law school required;
  • Excellent business judgement, superior leadership skills, and strong commitment to providing timely and top-quality client service with superior work product;
  • Ability to independently manage and own multiple projects with varying deadlines; the ability to make decisions under ambiguous circumstance in a fast-paced environment;
  • Excellent legal skills, including significant experience in structuring, drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a variety of commercial technology agreements (SaaS preferred);
  • Excellent interpersonal skills (sense of humor is a big plus); effective communicator, with the ability to interact with internal and external constituents at all levels; ability to communicate complex legal concepts in layman’s terms;
  • Background in online and mobile advertising, data issues, privacy, and/or digital media is strongly preferred;
  • International experience a plus.

Please include a cover letter outlining your interest in the role.
