About Acast
Since 2014, Acast has been building the world’s most valuable podcast marketplace, creating the technology that connects podcast creators, advertisers, and listeners. Its marketplace spans more than 140,000 podcasts, 3,300 advertisers, and one billion quarterly listens. Crucially, those listens are monetized wherever they happen—across any podcast app or listening platform.

About the role
From high-stakes podcast licensing and production to talent and ad sales deals, you’ll be a key player in the drafting, reviewing, and analyzing of the agreements that power the Acast marketplace. You’ll be a global collaborator, partnering with diverse teams across our international markets to help get deals across the finish line. This also means connecting the dots with external partners - from talent attorneys to production counsels to ensure everyone is on the same page. We expect you to be a problem solver who provides business-driven, practical advice and creative solutions that keep us moving fast while staying compliant. You will work closely with senior team members who will provide guidance and support as you navigate projects and grow your experience in the podcast space.

This role reports to the Head of Legal Americas, based in New York.

Some travel will be required.

Who you are
You hold a law degree and have roughly three years of experience under your belt, ideally with a background in entertainment, media, tech, or intellectual property. You have experience in drafting and negotiating commercial agreements.

Whether you’re coming from a law firm or an in-house legal department, you’re a true team player who values a collaborative environment and enjoys working as part of a collective to achieve big goals. Your analytical and communication skills are top-tier, and you have the interpersonal ability needed to build strong relationships across the entire business. Fluency in English is a must, and if you happen to speak Swedish, that’s a plus.

Culture 

Acast is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, national origin or any of the other wonderful characteristics that make us different.

Culture is our number one priority as a business. We believe people come first, and we work every day to enable autonomy, continuous improvement and bring out the best in people. We’re global and have remote teams, so it’s even more important that we strive for an open, inclusive and caring environment where everyone feels visible and welcome. 

We consider ourselves a modern organization driven by strong values to create the best, most fulfilling and nurturing culture.

We very much look forward to finding the next great person to join our cause!
