## About the role

We're looking for an experienced commercial attorney to lead legal support for Nex's content and partnerships ecosystem - the agreements and relationships that bring games, experiences, and brand collaborations onto the Nex Playground platform. You will be the primary legal partner to our Content, Partnerships, and Business Development teams, negotiating content and IP licensing deals, developer and publishing agreements, and strategic partnerships that grow our content catalog and platform reach.

- Have 7-10+ years of combined law firm and in-house experience, including meaningful time supporting a content/media partnerships business
- Have direct experience negotiating publishing/content licensing deals, experience with brand/entertainment IP licensing is a strong plus
- Understand partnership economics: how revenue share and attribution work, and how to structure incentives that align interests between Nex and its content and brand partners
- Are comfortable operating in an entrepreneurial environment with little existing precedent. You are proactive, independent, and energized by building rather than maintaining
- Communicate with clarity and business judgment, tailoring advice to enable responsible, fast-moving growth, and are comfortable presenting partnership strategy to business leaders
