What we do:
The Trade Desk is a dynamic, fast-growing technology company and we require excellent leadership at all levels. We are looking for an experienced commercial transactions attorney who has excellent judgement, loves to analyze complex legal issues, find creative solutions, and effectively negotiate deals. We are looking for someone able to collaborate cross-functionally and primarily support our Data Partnerships teams to structure, draft, and negotiate deals while also balancing competing demands, working independently, maintaining a positive attitude and, hopefully, contributing some humor to our legal slack channel. The Trade Desk is a company that will invest in its employees’ professional development— as we grow, we want our employees to grow with us.
