Role Summary

Cardlytics is looking for a Senior Counsel to join our small, nimble, fast-paced Legal and Compliance department, reporting to the Assistant General Counsel.

They must be passionate about ensuring that Cardlytics has a world-class legal department that can protect the company, drive business forward, and get deals done – and done well.

• An effective communicator with an acute ability to explain sophisticated legal concepts to your colleagues across the organization

• An approachable, people-oriented colleague who makes Cardlytians excited to include you – not let out a sigh when “Legal has to be involved”

You have experience in:

• At least 3-5 years of legal experience– dealing with complex legal issues and time spent at a top law firm with expertise in privacy and cybersecurity is a plus

• Sizing up a legal document and spotting the issues, whether a simple sales contract or a multi-million-dollar agreement that will change the trajectory of the company

• Influencing decisions at all levels and have a demonstrated ability to align stakeholders and teams on a common solution
