The successful candidate will be a business-savvy lawyer, who can thoughtfully balance legal risk with business priorities, thrives in close collaboration with legal and cross-functional partners, and brings a positive, solution-oriented mindset. If you are a creative problem-solver who embraces a fast pace and a can-do attitude, you’ll fit right in at Nexxen.

Each day can be different here at Nexxen, but some of the things you can expect to be doing daily are.

  • Training and Knowledge Sharing : Educate internal teams about legal matters related to the ad tech industry, including regulatory compliance, intellectual property, data protection, and contract best practices.
