We're looking for an attorney who is comfortable taking on broad commercial and counseling responsibilities and who has experience with and/or a passion for creators, publishers and the digital content economy.  We work closely with a variety of teams, and the projects that come across our desks run the gamut from commercial negotiations to policy development to counseling on go-to-market strategies for our creator, publisher, and subscription product monetization initiatives. 

You’ll be joining a broader team of whip-smart subject matter experts in business and talent affairs, content acquisition, and digital advertising and marketing, and we all enjoy working collaboratively (with a healthy dose of good humor) and strive to deliver meaningful impact to the business.

You will need to bring legal smarts, business sense and a strong work ethic because you'll be dealing with challenging legal and business issues in helping to craft our monetization strategies for creators and publishers and providing related support and guidance to Twitter’s sales, business development, operations, product and partner management teams.

Responsibilities will include:

• Structure, draft and negotiate various commercial agreements with digital content creators, media publishers, advertisers and their media agencies, creative service agencies, and other Twitter clients, business partners, and vendors.

• Counsel on a variety of legal and business issues related to go-to-market and growth strategies, including developing and drafting online program terms and working collaboratively with cross-functional partners in Legal and Policy, Privacy, Product, Finance, Accounting, Tax, and Commercial Payments to deliver advice. 

• Manage relationships across business and product teams to anticipate legal support needs and build and implement scalable processes and solutions in response to new and evolving business objectives.

• Work with international legal team colleagues in support of expanding and tailoring content creator and publisher monetization businesses in other countries.

We are looking for people who are motivated, collegial, have sound business and legal judgment and can deliver pragmatic, actionable advice, even in ambiguous situations. A successful candidate will have experience in at least some of the substantive areas in which we work, and a willingness and ability to learn the rest. 

Qualifications:

• Solid understanding of social media platform landscapes and comfort in dealing with related creator economy, digital advertising, and content issues, including staying up-to-date on advertising, media, and other legal areas related to Twitter’s content creator, publisher, and subscription monetization businesses.

• Experience with commercial contracts, intellectual property (especially copyright and trademark), advertising/FTC (especially advertising/marketing claims and endorsements), content licensing, privacy, and consumer laws, including an understanding of how these areas impact contractual terms and third party relationships.

• Tech (including ad tech), digital ad sales, and/or entertainment experience (including familiarity with union obligations) a plus.

• Willingness to learn, with a mindset of no project being too big or too small to handle.

• Comfort with escalating issues, as appropriate, while also being able to earn trust from client teams by facilitating progress and proposing creative solutions to identified legal and business risks. 

• Excellent organizational skills and ability to jump in and lead and prioritize multiple projects simultaneously.

• Detailed-oriented with strong written and oral communication skills.

Requirements:

• At least 2 years of relevant legal experience in the substantive areas described above, ideally, at a fast-paced technology, media, entertainment or Internet company or at a law firm where you supported clients in one or more of these industries.

• JD from an accredited law school, and be admitted to at least one US State Bar in good standing, or be qualified for and willing to maintain Registered In-House Counsel status with the California State Bar
