- Build and maintain scalable production workflows, deal memo templates, and contract management processes for Hims & Hers' commercial and marketing production operation, including SAG-AFTRA signatory compliance and AI vendor terms.

- Proven track record preparing and executing commercial advertising contracts, including SAG-AFTRA commercials agreements, on-camera and voice-over performer deals, music rights agreements, deal memos, production house contracts, and performer usage and exclusivity arrangements

- Knowledge of SAG-AFTRA guild rules, signatory responsibilities, and low-budget/new media contract frameworks

- Experience drafting and negotiating IP licensing and content clearance agreements

- Exposure to AI-related legal considerations in creative or marketing settings, including generative AI usage policies, ownership of AI-generated content, and drafting AI-related terms in vendor and platform contracts

- Capacity to pivot rapidly in a high-velocity, ever-changing environment with competing demands

- Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a demonstrated ability to deliver practical, commercially grounded guidance to diverse stakeholders

- Track record of weighing legal exposure against business goals

- Collaborative mindset and constructive, can-do approach
