- Work closely with our Sales, Revenue Operations, and Marketing teams to support deal strategy, respond to RFPs, and help develop standard positions, templates, and playbooks.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Data, and Compliance on issues related to privacy, data use, targeting, measurement, and safety in a healthcare advertising environment.
- Provide concise, business-focused advice on contract interpretation, risk allocation, regulatory considerations, and internal policies.
- Help design and continuously improve internal processes, templates, and guardrails to make our commercial work more scalable, efficient, and auditable.
- Assist with other corporate and product counseling matters as needed, including support for new product launches, vendor contracts, and special projects.
What We're Looking For- 6+ years of experience practicing law, including time at a reputable law firm and/or in-house at a technology, healthcare, or advertising company.
- Significant experience structuring and negotiating commercial transactions (for example, SaaS, digital media, data licensing, strategic partnerships, or IP licensing).
- A confident, effective negotiator who can identify what matters, explain risk clearly, and efficiently bring deals to a balanced close.
- Excellent drafting skills with the ability to write precisely and clearly for both legal and non-legal audiences.
- Strong business judgment and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment, while knowing when to escalate or seek additional input.
- Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally and build trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels of the company.
- J.D. from an accredited U.S. law school.
- Active membership in the California bar or eligibility to register as California Registered In-House Counsel (RHIC) before starting in the role.
Nice to Have- Experience with ad tech, digital advertising, or media buying, particularly in highly regulated industries such as healthcare or financial services.
- Familiarity with healthcare regulatory frameworks (e.g., HIPAA) and privacy and data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA/CPRA).
