Job description

We are looking for a Staff Attorney

Target total compensation ranges from $170,000 - $214,000, including a fixed annual salary of $153,000 - $174,000, an employee equity plan grant, and world‑class benefits.

Equity grants are issued in good faith, subject to company policies, board approval, and individual eligibility.

About the Role

As we scale rapidly globally, we’re looking for a practical, business‑minded attorney to join our lean, AI‑enabled Legal team. This role is for someone who thrives in fast‑moving, data‑rich environments, can partner closely with commercial teams, and has the judgment to balance speed with risk.

You’ll be a key advisor to Rokt’s commercial and operational teams, helping us scale responsibly while unlocking impact.

Responsibilities

• Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of agreements with customers and suppliers, including SaaS, ecommerce, ad‑tech/mar‑tech, data processing, licensing, and strategic partnerships
• Provide commercially astute counsel to Rokt’s global go‑to‑market, product, and partnerships teams, balancing risk with business velocity
• Review and negotiate vendor agreements
• Partner with the team's paralegals and legal ops professionals on improving processes and automating tasks with tools like Claude Cowork and OpenAI’s Codex
• Partner with Finance, People, and Operations to streamline contracting processes and accelerate deal flow, including through automation and CLM (Ironclad) optimization
• Lean in as needed to other areas like corporate governance, employment, and regulatory issues

About You

• JD with strong academic credentials; admitted to practice in the US
• We welcome both entry‑level attorneys and attorneys with relevant prior experience; experience or demonstrated exposure to commercial contracting, technology transactions, ecommerce, ad‑tech, mar‑tech, or other high‑growth technology environments is a plus, but not required.
• Extremely comfortable using AI and agentic AI to solve complex problems and automate more routine ones.
• Comfortable negotiating complex commercial and data‑related agreements
• Good at simplifying complexity—clear, concise legal drafting and advice is your superpower
• Strong project management skills; thrive handling multiple priorities in a fast‑paced, global environment
• Collaborative and solutions‑oriented, with the ability to build trust with stakeholders across geographies and levels
• High degree of initiative, sound judgment
• Experience implementing or managing CLM systems (Ironclad preferred) a strong plus

We work together as one aligned team, never letting egos get in the way of brilliant ideas.

About the Benefits

• Become a shareholder. Every Rokt’star gets equity in the company
• Enjoy catered lunch every day and healthy snacks in the office. Plus join the gym on us!
• Access generous retirement plans like a 4% dollar‑for‑dollar 401K matching plan and get fully funded premium health insurance!
• Dog‑friendly office
• Extra leave (bonus annual leave, sabbatical leave etc.)
• Work with the greatest talent in town
• See the world! We have offices in New York, Seattle, Sydney, Tokyo and London
