Associate Legal Counsel

This is a fantastic opportunity for an Associate Legal Counsel to play a key role at the heart of a fast-moving, high-growth business. Reporting to the VP Legal, Spain, you’ll support a broad range of commercial activities across the Spanish market, tackling everything from day-to-day legal queries to more complex matters with confidence and impact.

In this role, you’ll go beyond pure legal support—acting as a true business partner, delivering clear, commercially focused advice, driving contract negotiations, and helping shape key projects alongside cross-functional teams. You’ll be instrumental in managing legal risk while enabling innovation and growth in a dynamic, content-driven environment.

We’re looking for a qualified lawyer with around 3 years’ experience in an international law firm or in-house, ideally within media, tech, or audiovisual sectors. A strong command of English (written and spoken) is essential.

This role will be based in our Madrid office. 

Please note, our Talent Acquisition team and some Hiring teams are based in the UK so parts of the recruitment process will be in English. Please also upload your resume in English, thanks!
