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. This position is perfect for an attorney who has demonstrated leadership skills, a broad range of experience with transactional and corporate matters, and who thrives individually and within a team.
As the leading modern media company, Vox Media guides its audience from discovery to obsession. We inspire essential conversations about what’s now, what’s next, and what’s possible.
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.
