What are the responsibilities and job description for the Fractional Chief Legal Officer position at AC Lion Digital Executive Search?
Fractional Chief Legal Officer (20–25 hrs/week)
Location: Ideally based in Miami, but open to candidates on the East Coast
About the Company
Our client is a high-growth, profitable tech company operating at the intersection of domain monetization, ad tech, and search. Their platform empowers digital asset owners to generate revenue from untapped web traffic through innovative monetization strategies—ranging from feed optimization to content arbitrage.
They partner with some of the biggest players in search and advertising, delivering data-driven solutions that maximize yield for a global client base. The team is lean, fast-moving, and deeply embedded in the digital advertising ecosystem.
What They're Looking For
This isn’t a traditional legal role. The CEO already works with several external attorneys. What they need now is a legal leader with deep industry expertise—someone who can embed within the team and move quickly with the business.
Must-Have Experience:
✔ Robust legal background with relevant ad tech experience
✔ Specific knowledge in at least one of the following areas:
• Search monetization
• Domain parking or content/search arbitrage
• Feed integrations (Google, Yahoo, Bing)
General ad tech expertise is required, but candidates with niche experience will stand out.
Team Integration is Key:
This is not a check-in-and-out position. The ideal candidate will:
• Be active on Slack and part of the day-to-day workflow
• Provide in-the-moment legal insights—not just post-hoc analysis
• Operate as a true internal partner, not just outside counsel
Additional Responsibilities:
• Continue collaboration with the company’s long-standing external legal partner on specialized matters
• Build and refine internal legal processes
• Oversee legal risk and compliance across business operations
• Advise on data privacy, corporate governance, and regulatory issues
• Monitor industry-specific legal developments
• Deliver legal training and documentation internally
• Align closely with leadership on strategy and execution
This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact role at the heart of a dynamic ad tech business. Ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and knows how to blend legal excellence with business momentum.
