About TodayTix Group:

TodayTix Group, TTG, is the global e-commerce leader for cultural experiences. Founded in 2013, TTG designs frictionless e-commerce experiences via innovative product design and industry-leading technology.

Through powerful consumer matchmaking technology and our expansive portfolio of brands, including TodayTix, New York Theatre Guide, London Theatre Guide, Show-Score, Arthouse, and Secret Cinema, TTG has an intimate understanding of its millions of customers. We optimize partner relationships by providing unparalleled access to engaged audiences to generate meaningful revenue, transforming the way tickets are sold. With an ever-expanding global network of theatres, producers, and cultural institutions, frictionless technology, and vast data and insights, TTG is at the forefront of the digital transformation of culture.

Life at TodayTix Group

We thrive in a nimble, growth-oriented environment where adaptability, curiosity, and a bias toward action help us stay ahead of the curve. We move quickly, iterate often, and expect everyone to take ownership of their impact — because we're building the future of live events, and there’s no script for what comes next.

New joiners are set up for success with a 90-day onboarding journey, complete with clear goals and measurable milestones. We believe feedback fuels growth, so we hold twice-yearly performance reviews focused on impact and development.

Above all, you’ll be working alongside a team of collaborative, passionate, and kind humans — people who love theatre and live experiences, and who support each other just as much as they challenge each other to do great work.

We are seeking outstanding applicants of all backgrounds to join our team to bring new voices, talent, and perspectives to the table. We encourage all to apply.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a sharp, pragmatic, and commercially minded Fractional General Counsel to join TodayTix Group (TTG) as an independent contractor. In this critical role, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to our global leadership team, guiding the business through complex legal and strategic matters across our operations in the US, UK, and beyond.

From advising on commercial contracts and data privacy compliance to managing external counsel and navigating global risk, your expertise will help ensure TTG operates responsibly, efficiently, and with confidence. This is a unique opportunity to shape legal strategy at a high-growth, creative company at the intersection of entertainment and technology.

If you thrive in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments and enjoy being a strategic thought partner to senior leadership, we’d love to hear from you.

Please note: this is a consultant/advisory role with flexible hours (estimated 2–3 days per week). While this is a remote-friendly opportunity for those within proximity to London, qualified candidates must be able to work UK hours and be available to join meetings across US and UK time zones. For those based in the Greater London area, there may be potential for a permanent, in-house opportunity in the future, if mutually desired.

What Success Looks Like:

• Commercial Contract Efficiency → Review and negotiation of business-critical agreements delivered with speed, clarity, and risk awareness across jurisdictions.
• Regulatory Compliance & Risk Mitigation → Company-wide adherence to evolving global data privacy laws and corporate compliance standards.
• Dispute Resolution Leadership → Successful navigation of complex disputes and litigation with minimal disruption to the business.
• Cross-Functional Legal Partnership → Trusted legal advisor to executive leadership, HR, product, marketing, partnerships, and operations.
• Lean Legal Ops → Clear scoping and management of external counsel that controls costs while ensuring high-quality results.
• Risk Management Strategy → Effective coordination of corporate insurance policies and frameworks to proactively protect the business.

What You’ll Do:

• Advise on and manage disputes and litigation – Provide legal support on real estate matters and oversee external counsel where appropriate.
• Lead corporate compliance and data privacy initiatives – Ensure TTG’s platforms and practices meet global privacy laws like GDPR and CPRA.
• Draft, review, and negotiate key commercial agreements – Including distribution, production, sponsorship, and partner contracts.
• Support IP protection efforts – Advise on intellectual property risks and enforcement strategies, coordinating with outside counsel as needed.
• Provide legal support on M&A activity – Assist with diligence, structuring, and contract execution.
• Guide global employment law matters – Serve as a thought partner on complex employee issues, partnering with our Chief People Officer.
• Oversee and manage external legal partners – Scope and delegate matters efficiently, controlling legal spend.
• Support risk management efforts – Advise on corporate insurance coverage (e.g., E&O, D&O) as needed in coordination with our existing brokers and internal stakeholders.
• Provide ad hoc legal support on theatrical productions – Advise on production-related agreements and rights management to support the successful staging of live shows.

We’re Looking for Someone With:

• 7+ years of relevant legal experience, ideally including both in-house and law firm roles.
• Qualified to practice in the UK (England & Wales).
• Deep experience in commercial contract negotiation and legal strategy.
• Demonstrated ability to support cross-border operations, particularly in the US and UK (Australia a plus).
• Proven comfort operating as a sole legal advisor or fractional GC in a high-growth, entrepreneurial environment.
• Familiarity with global employment law and data privacy regulations (GDPR/CPRA).
• Experience with entertainment or live performance contracts is a plus.
• Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and a hands-on, solutions-oriented mindset.
• Qualified to also practice in the US (preferably NY) is a plus!
