Job Description

We are Rokt, a hyper-growth ecommerce leader. Rokt is the global leader in ecommerce, unlocking real-time relevance in the moment that matters most. Rokt’s AI Brain and ecommerce Network powers billions of transactions connecting hundreds of millions of customers, and is trusted to do this by the world’s leading companies.

We are a team of builders helping smart businesses find innovative ways to meet customer needs and generate incremental revenue. Leading companies drive 10-50% of additional revenue—and often all their profits—from the extra products or services they sell. This economic edge unleashes a world of possibilities for growth and innovation.

At Rokt, we practice transparency in career paths and compensation. We believe in transparency, which is why we have a well-defined career ladder with transparent compensation and clear career paths based on competency and ability. Rokt’stars constantly strive to raise the bar, pushing the envelope of what is possible.

Target total compensation ranges from $170,000 - $214,000, including a fixed annual salary of $153,000 - $174,000, an employee equity plan grant, and world-class benefits.

Equity grants are issued in good faith, subject to company policies, board approval, and individual eligibility.

About the Role:

As we scale rapidly globally, we’re looking for a practical, business-minded attorney to join our lean, AI-enabled Legal team. This role is for someone who thrives in fast-moving, data-rich environments, can partner closely with commercial teams, and has the judgment to balance speed with risk.

You’ll be a key advisor to Rokt’s commercial and operational teams, helping us scale responsibly while unlocking impact.

Responsibilities:

• Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of agreements with customers and suppliers, including SaaS, ecommerce, ad-tech/mar-tech, data processing, licensing, and strategic partnerships
• Provide commercially astute counsel to Rokt’s global go-to-market, product, and partnerships teams, balancing risk with business velocity
• Review and negotiate vendor agreements
• Partner with the team's paralegals and legal ops professionals on improving processes and automating tasks with tools like Claude Cowork and OpenAI’s Codex.
• Partner with Finance, People, and Operations to streamline contracting processes and accelerate deal flow, including through automation and CLM (Ironclad) optimization
• Lean in as needed to other areas like corporate governance, employment, and regulatory issues

Requirements

About You:

• JD with strong academic credentials; admitted to practice in the US
• We welcome both entry-level attorneys and attorneys with relevant prior experience; experience or demonstrated exposure to commercial contracting, technology transactions, ecommerce, ad-tech, mar-tech, or other high-growth technology environments is a plus, but not required.
• Extremely comfortable using AI and agentic AI to solve complex problems and automate more routine ones.
• Comfortable negotiating complex commercial and data-related agreements
• Good at simplifying complexity—clear, concise legal drafting and advice is your superpower
• Strong project management skills; thrive handling multiple priorities in a fast-paced, global environment
• Collaborative and solutions-oriented, with the ability to build trust with stakeholders across geographies and levels
• High degree of initiative, sound judgment
• Experience implementing or managing CLM systems (Ironclad preferred) a strong plus
