Manage the end-to-end contract lifecycle, including tracking, execution, renewals, and amendments using contract management tools

Coordinate with outside counsel on specialized matters, IP, litigation support, and regulatory inquiries as needed

Partner with the Finance and Revenue Operations teams to ensure deal structures align with revenue recognition requirements

Support corporate governance activities, including board resolutions, entity maintenance, and compliance initiatives

Stay current on relevant legal developments in adtech, data privacy, AI regulation, and digital advertising

Identify opportunities to improve and scale legal processes across the organization

Qualification

Juris Doctor (JD); admission to at least one U.S. state bar (required)

3-7 years of relevant legal experience, with a strong focus on commercial/technology transactions (law firm and/or in-house)

Demonstrated experience drafting and negotiating complex technology contracts, including SaaS, data licensing, API, and platform agreements

Solid understanding of data privacy law (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA) and how privacy requirements intersect with commercial agreements

Experience in the adtech, martech, digital media, or data intelligence space strongly preferred

Excellent written and oral communication skills with the ability to explain complex legal concepts to non-legal stakeholders

Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment

Proficiency with contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools and legal technology platforms

Self-starter who can work independently and collaboratively with cross-functional teams

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with programmatic advertising, real-time bidding (RTB), supply path optimization, or connected TV (CTV) platforms

Familiarity with MRC standards, IAB frameworks, or digital ad industry self-regulatory bodies

Experience supporting enterprise SaaS sales cycles and working directly with revenue-generating teams

Exposure to IP licensing, open-source compliance, or AI/ML data use agreements
