Job Description
Your new role: Senior Legal Counsel, Global Studios
Global has ambitious plans to become the most successful and influential podcast business in the UK and one of the leading players worldwide, building video and audio IP that lives across Global Player and other platforms both in the UK and internationally. To realise this, it has launched Global Studios - a cutting-edge division offering creators a world-class environment for the shows they develop and produce, with everything they need to succeed across production, hosting, distribution, marketing and monetisation, all backed by Global's scale and expertise. Having recently taken a majority stake in The Fellas Studios and The Overlap, Global is building from a position of strength and investing to supercharge the division's output.
This is an exciting role supporting Global Studios - the home of Global's market-leading podcast network, including Global's owned-and-operated podcast brands (such as The News Agents ) as well as The Fellas Studios' portfolio (such as The Fellas and Saving Grace ) - alongside Global's wider presenter talent engagements and commercial activity. You will be the go-to legal advisor for podcast on-boarding, high-profile presenter engagements, commercial deals, and the monetisation of both audio & video content across multiple platforms (including via DAX), playing a key role in helping Global deliver on its strategic objectives.
