The Associate Commercial Counsel role will be an important member of the Legal team, supporting LiveRamp’s commercial contracting function across a wide range of customer, vendor, and business partner agreements. This is a junior commercial counsel role designed for an attorney early in their career who is eager to learn, grow, and develop strong judgment in commercial contracting, privacy-forward technology transactions, and cross-functional legal support.

This person will work closely with more senior members of the Legal team and will receive training, mentorship, and guidance while building the skills needed to support LiveRamp’s business in a fast-paced AdTech, MarTech, SaaS, and data collaboration environment.

This role will be based in any of our US located offices (Little Rock, AR, San Francisco, CA, or New York, NY) and will interface with business teams to support a wide range of commercial initiatives requiring practical, business-minded legal guidance. This is an opportunity to develop as an in-house commercial attorney while contributing to a fast-paced organization operating at the forefront of the Ad/MarTech industry. This role reports to LiveRamp's Assistant General Counsel.

• Support the business and legal team members on legal review for Requests for Proposal (RFPs), security questionnaires, privacy-related contracting requests, and other customer-driven requests.

• Respond promptly to the demands of an active SaaS sales team while learning how to prioritize work based on urgency, deal value, risk, and business impact.

• Build fluency in LiveRamp’s products, privacy-first approach, data collaboration solutions, and commercial contracting model.

• Contribute to improvements to contract templates, playbooks, intake processes, training materials, and other tools that help the Legal team work better, faster, and more consistently.
