About the role
- We are looking for a sharp, pragmatic attorney to join Roku's Legal Ad Partnerships & Sales team within the Legal & Business Affairs organization.
- This role sits at the heart of Roku's advertising business — supporting the ad sales, ad platform, and publisher ad services teams with the transactional legal work that powers Roku's growth.
- You will negotiate and structure complex commercial agreements across the digital advertising ecosystem, advise on data privacy in the context of live deals, and serve as a trusted legal partner to a wide range of business stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of agreements across the ad tech ecosystem, including publisher and content provider agreements, DSP and SSP agreements, advertiser and agency contracts, data licenses, insertion orders, and ad tech vendor and platform agreements
- Structure master services agreements, data integration arrangements, and vendor agreements in support of Roku's advertising platform
- Advise on data privacy considerations embedded in commercial transactions, bringing a confident working knowledge of the evolving privacy law landscape to each deal
- Stay current on developments in martech, ad tech, digital media, retail media, OTT/CTV, and applicable regulations including data privacy laws
- Collaborate closely with ad sales, ad partnerships, ad ops, content & services, finance, tax, product, engineering, and marketing teams — serving as a legal partner, not a gatekeeper
- Independently navigate stakeholder input across departments and translate legal requirements into clear, actionable business guidance
- Help develop scalable, risk-calibrated processes that give the advertising team the flexibility to move quickly without sacrificing legal rigor
- Use AI-powered legal tools and large language models to accelerate contract review, drafting, and analysis — and help identify opportunities to further integrate AI into the team's workflows
- Bring a forward-thinking approach to legal operations, including comfort with and curiosity about how emerging technology is reshaping the practice of law
Requirements
- Deep experience negotiating supply-side agreements, demand-side agreements, data licensing agreements, and IOs with advertisers, agencies, and publishers
- Solid understanding of digital advertising technology, programmatic ecosystems, and the IAB terms and conditions landscape
- Excellent working knowledge of data privacy and marketing
- Significant experience drafting and negotiating advertising data and measurement licenses, including privacy and data security provisions
- Demonstrated ability to translate legal requirements into actionable business advice for fast-moving teams
- Pragmatic approach to problem solving, sound judgment under ambiguity, and the entrepreneurial mindset to work independently in a constantly evolving environment
- Proven ability to build relationships across departments and work effectively in a matrixed environment
- Strong track record of handling complex business and legal issues in a fast-paced, agile, technology-driven company
- J.D. from a U.S. accredited law school and active bar membership in New York or California
