About the role
Netflix is building one of the most ambitious advertising businesses in the world and the Advertising Legal team is seeking a Counsel, Advertising Technology to join our Ads Legal organization. This team sits at the intersection of ad technology, data strategy, and privacy law, advising on some of the most complex and consequential questions in the digital advertising industry today. This team works closely with cross functional teams, including Advertising, Product, Business and Legal Affairs, Privacy, and Product Legal, and also collaborates with regional counsel globally, though this role is primarily US-focused. Your work will directly shape how Netflix targets, measures, and delivers advertising while keeping us firmly within the bounds of legal and regulatory requirements and consumer expectations.

This position is based in Los Angeles, CA or New York, NY and reports to the Director, Advertising Legal.
What you'll bring
- 4-6 years of relevant legal experience with meaningful time spent on ad tech and digital/programmatic advertising
- Substantive familiarity with ad tech: you understand how topics like demand-side platforms, data clean rooms, identity resolution, and third-party measurement work at a technical level, not just a conceptual one
- Transactional experience: you've negotiated agreements with companies across the advertising ecosystem
- Privacy law fluency: you have a working command of the privacy frameworks that underpin modern data practices in advertising and can apply them practically
- Risk tolerance and business judgment: you're comfortable making calls in the absence of perfect information, offering clear, concise risk framing rather that avoids unnecessary stalling of the business
- you operate like a business partner, not outside counsel
- Strong communication skills: you translate complex legal requirements into plain language for technical and non-technical stakeholders alike, and you're comfortable presenting your views succinctly and with confidence
- Autonomy and initiative: you take ownership of your portfolio, identify problems before they escalate, and propose solutions rather than waiting to be directed
- Generally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary
- we do not have bonuses.
- You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options.
- To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range.
