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.

As Commercial Counsel on the Revenue Partnerships team, we enable Twitter’s customers to reach and meaningfully engage audiences using new products and features designed to measure the impact of advertising on Twitter. To make this possible, we serve as a key advisor to the Business Development and Ad Research teams; and are not afraid to fiercely advocate on behalf of Twitter’s revenue products business. We draft and negotiate strategic, data-driven partnerships with partners across the advertising ecosystem to grow Twitter’s revenue products business globally, at scale. We work closely with and/or advise a variety of cross-functional teams on strategic legal, business, product and policy decisions, and are passionate about the law and growing our business in a way that makes us proud.

What You’ll Do:

• Draft, review, negotiate and manage a variety of standard and bespoke technology transaction agreements (inbound and outbound) with partners in the online advertising ecosystem and other related offerings, related to data use, privacy, licensing, and intellectual property

• Deliver timely, clear, actionable, pragmatic, strategic, and business-forward legal guidance to your clients and stakeholders across the organization with an emphasis on starting from a place of “yes”

• Partner with stakeholders across the organization to identify and manage legal issues and risks during all stages of product/partnership development, and embed with those teams to monitor updates and be an advocate for your clients on legal implications (or otherwise) as the product/partnership evolves

• Review and advise on marketing, comms and sales materials

• Respond promptly to legal requests from Business Development, Product, Marketing, Sales and other cross-functional client groups

• Form strong relationships through collaboration with stakeholders across the organization

• Build and/or improve standard form agreements and legal processes that scale globally

Who You Are:

We are looking for people who are curious and collaborative, enjoy a fast-paced environment and can work proactively and independently.

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.

• 5 - 8 years (or even more) of relevant legal experience, ideally with at least 1 year of in-house experience in a fast-paced and rapidly growing technology or digital media company, and at least 2 years of experience in a law firm, supporting transactions. You don’t need to have a background in ad-tech to apply, but experience with negotiating contracts with partners in the advertising ecosystem, technology transactions, SaaS, API, strategic alliance, partnership, data licensing, privacy addendums and other related offerings is a bonus.

• Substantial understanding of intellectual property, licensing, privacy, data security and contract legal issues

• Strong attention to detail with precision and organizational agility
