WHO YOU ARE You are admitted to practice law in California or qualified to act as Registered In-House Counsel in California. You have at least 5+ years of post-qualification experience working in a law firm and/or in-house legal department. Existing in-house experience is preferable but not essential. You have experience working in the podcast, digital audio, or broader media ecosystem — as external counsel advising creators, publishers, and technology platforms; and/or in the legal department of a large, scaled business with a focus on podcasters, media creators, or media monetization matters. You have a solid understanding of the podcast landscape, including how podcast advertising, host-read sponsorships, programmatic audio, and creator monetization programs operate, as well as the license agreements and monetization structures that support them. Strong working knowledge of and experience with product counseling, intellectual property, and legal issues relating to digital audio, podcast distribution, programmatic advertising, privacy, consumer protection, and media. Experience in a consumer-facing technology or media organization with a significant podcast or digital audio business is a plus. You consistently deliver clear, concise, practical, and pragmatic advice, with a proven ability to make risk-based decisions and to develop innovative and business-focused solutions to commercial challenges and regulatory developments. You are comfortable balancing a varied body of work, moving at pace, and operating in areas where there is no perfect answer and ambiguity is high. You have a demonstrated willingness to dig into the details of projects and work well as part of a team — both with other lawyers and with non-legal stakeholders. You have excellent interpersonal skills with an absolute commitment to professionalism and collegiality. Fluency in English is essential; other languages are a plus.
