    Default job background
    Description

    The Legal & Business Affairs team of Vox Media is seeking an Assistant General Counsel who will be responsible for a wide array of corporate transactional and governance matters.

    We're looking for a business-minded attorney with deep experience in joint ventures and M&A, as well as financing transactions.

    In addition to leading the company's extraordinary transactions, the successful candidate will manage the company's equity incentive program, legal entity maintenance, and corporate insurance.

    As a corporate utility player, this position will also lead the Corporate, Compliance and Operations (CCO) team, overseeing attorneys (procurement, data privacy, brand licensing, etc.) and legal operations professionals.

    This position reports to the General Counsel while working closely with other members of the Legal & Business Affairs department and internal business teams and leadership across the company.

    As the leading modern media company, Vox Media guides its audience from discovery to obsession.

    Within Vox Media, the Legal & Business Affairs team has a reputation for rolling up our sleeves and figuring things out.

    Colleagues turn to the Legal & Business Affairs team not only for policy-setting, risk assessment, and negotiations, but also to help make business decisions and help shape the strategy of the company.

    As a community of journalists and storytellers, business professionals, creators and technologists, we believe it is a moral and business imperative to amplify voices: to cultivate diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization and media.

    This applies to our candidates, our teams, our storytelling, our creative work, and our platforms, products, and partnerships.

    Play a key role in M&A, joint venture, and financing transactions, including negotiating definitive documentation, managing cross-functional due diligence processes, and assisting in all areas of deal development, structuring, execution, and integration.

    Draft, negotiate, and interpret NDAs, letters of intent, investor rights agreements, voting agreements, right of first refusal agreements, stock purchase agreements, corporate charter and operating agreements, and other shareholder or investor agreements.

    Manage a team of legal operations professionals who find and create operational efficiencies for the Legal & Business Affairs team, and attorneys who focus on vendor procurement and compliance matters (e.g., data privacy, gaming regulators, etc.).

    Advise on securities and shareholder matters, including managing the Company's cap table via Carta, processing employee stock option and RSU grants and exercises, and managing investor relations.

    Advise on executive equity compensation matters, with a broad understanding of related tax consequences such as Section 409A and incentive and nonqualified stock options.

    Manage the Company's corporate insurance program, including enterprise risk management, program structuring and renewal, and certificates of insurance, as well as collaborating with other Legal & Business Affairs team members with claims reporting.

    6+ years of experience at a major law firm or in-house, with a preference for experience at a media or entertainment company.

    ~ Demonstrated M&A or financing attorney with proven drafting, deal structuring, project leadership, negotiation, and communication skills required; exposure to executive compensation, tax, real estate, corporate insurance, venture capital or private equity is a plus.
    ~ Experience interacting with boards and senior leadership, including summarizing risk assessments, communicating complex deal points, and providing thoughtful business guidance.
    ~ Proven ability to handle multiple projects and prioritize and meet deadlines within a fast-paced environment.
    ~ Creative, flexible, enthusiastic, innovative, and a can-do, no job is too small, team player attitude.
    ~ Excellent communication and organizational skills, including clear and effective written and verbal communication skills, negotiating skills, and strong legal drafting abilities.

    We've hired chefs who became editors, DJs who became UX designers, and sommeliers who became writers.

    While we currently do not require Legal & Business Affairs team members to work out of the office regularly, team members are expected to be available to come into the office from time to time for meetings with other team members or key stakeholders.

    This is a permanent, full-time position .

    Vox Media is committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone can show up as their authentic selves and create their best work.

    We recognize that great stories, platforms, products and services come from people with all manner of backgrounds and experiences. We keep our diversity data public for the sake of accountability, transparency and communication .
