What they need


  • As Assistant General Counsel, you’ll be the second in-house lawyer, reporting directly to the General Counsel, with real ownership from day one across both of our businesses: our enterprise adtech business and our consumer fintech business
  • This is a generalist in-house role with a focus on adtech. Data privacy and commercial contracting for the advertising business are the core of the job
  • You’ll also support legal needs across the entire company, which means the range of work is genuinely broad
  • The quality that matters most, is autonomy. You’ll drive matters with little oversight, within agreed parameters, and you’ll have the judgment to escalate when something warrants it
  • For the right person, this role is a real path to becoming a general counsel, with the scope and exposure to learn the job from the inside
  • You’ll also help build a modern legal function rather than inherit one: writing the playbooks, creating company-wide processes and procedures, standing up intake, and identifying what can be automated and then building it, using AI wherever it makes sense, so that a two-lawyer team covers ground that used to take four
  • Negotiate and close commercial agreements for the adtech business, including data licenses, MSAs, DPAs, and SOWs and order forms with agencies, platforms, publishers, and retail media networks
  • Embed with product, engineering, and growth teams, learning the business well enough to advise on new features and data flows early enough to shape decisions rather than react to them
  • Build out the data privacy program: data inventory, review of consent and opt-out mechanics against what we represent to counterparties, vendor diligence, and a process for handling consumer data requests that works in practice
  • Support the expansion of our consumer fintech business, working alongside specialist consumer regulatory counsel
  • Build the legal operations layer with AI wherever possible: identify what can be automated and then build it, including intake, negotiation playbooks, self-service templates, first-pass contract review, matter management and reporting, and company-wide policy and procedures on contracting and signature authority
  • Manage outside counsel on your matters, including scope, budget, and rate discipline
  • Cover legal needs across the whole company as they arise, including shared services, employment, IP, corporate, structured financings, insurance, and state-level licensing- You want to build the function’s systems rather than just work its queue, and you’re already using AI tools rather than planning to
  • You want to embed in the business, learn how it actually works, and own its legal needs end to end rather than advise it from a distance
  • You’ve run high-volume commercial and sales contracting, and you can move quickly without leaving real risk on the table
  • You can tell real risk apart from theoretical risk and can give the business a clear answer rather than a laundry list of considerations
  • You have deep data privacy experience, particularly as it relates to adtech
  • You’re comfortable being the only lawyer in the room on your matters, with the judgment to recognize early when something needs escalation or outside expertise
  • You want to grow into a general counsel role over time, and you’re looking for the scope and exposure to get there
  • JD and active bar membership in good standing
  • Approximately 7+ years of post-JD experience, combining law firm training with time in-house
  • Deep data privacy experience, ideally in adtech, data licensing, or a data-driven consumer business: state privacy laws and the expanding patchwork, consent and opt-out mechanics, sensitive data, data broker and deletion-request regimes, and controller and processor allocation in DPAs
  • Substantial commercial and sales contracting experience at volume, including data licenses, MSAs, DPAs, SOWs, and order forms
  • Legal operations experience and genuine AI fluency. You have built, or are eager to build, negotiation playbooks, self-service templates, structured intake, and AI-assisted contract review
  • Strong plus: consumer financial services experience in fintech, including earned wage access, buy-now-pay-later, bank partnerships, with knowledge of TILA and Regulation Z, EFTA and Regulation E, FCRA, the Military Lending Act, TCPA, UDAAP, GLBA, and state licensing and registration regimes
  • Plus: experience managing litigation, arbitration, or regulatory matters
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and drive progress autonomously
  • We encourage you to apply, even if your experience doesn’t match every detail on the job description. If we don’t see something that immediately fits, we will keep your resume on file for future opportunities
