Twitter is what’s happening and what people are talking about right now. For us, life's not about a job, it's about purpose. We believe real change starts with conversation. Here, your voice matters. Come as you are and together we'll do what's right (not what's easy) to serve the public conversation.

Who We Are:

Twitter’s Commercial Counselors draft and negotiate complex agreements that enable Twitter to develop and sell its products at scale, globally. We advise a variety of teams on strategic business, product and policy decisions, and we enjoy solving unstructured problems that frequently have no obvious solutions. Our team specifically supports Twitter’s multi-billion dollar ads business, and we care deeply about growing our business in a way that makes us proud. 

What You’ll Do:

• Draft and negotiate agreements in support of Twitter’s ads business 

• Advise clients on legal and business risks, as well as mitigation strategies 

• Work collaboratively across various stakeholder teams, including Sales, Product, Trust & Safety, Public Policy, Communications, and Finance 

• Deliver timely, pragmatic, and business-focused legal counsel to your clients, even in ambiguous situations

• Respond to legal inquiries from internal clients and external stakeholders, including advertisers, agencies, and ecosystem partners 

• Build processes and solutions that scale to help our advertisers adopt and use Twitter’s ads products seamlessly across the globe 

Who You Are:

We are looking for people who are curious and collaborative, enjoy a fast-paced environment and can work proactively and independently. Commercial counsel must have a good business sense and the ability to earn trust from their clients while providing them with practical, actionable advice. We’re looking for folks who don’t shy away from hard problems, and who want to solve them in a way that makes sense at scale. A successful candidate will have experience in at least some of the legal areas we work on, and a willingness and ability to learn the rest. 

Requirements:

• 5+ years of relevant, commercial experience, ideally drafting and negotiating contracts supporting digital ad sales

• Substantial understanding of privacy, intellectual property, and advertising business issues and how those play out within legal agreements and commercial relationships

• Flexible and adaptable working style, with a strong track record of providing clients with creative, pragmatic, business-focused advice

• Strong project management skills

• Detail-oriented with excellent communication skills

• Highly collaborative with a proven track record of building strong, cross-functional partnerships with a variety of teams

• JD and a US state bar license in good standing
