We are looking for – Senior Legal Counsel

Scroll if your are interested

We need a full-time, in-house lawyer.

Sounds like the beginning of an exciting story. Is it yours? 

No, we’re not in trouble (promise), and we don’t plan to be either (double promise). 

But the life of an agency that provides all sorts of digital and creative wizardry is usually full of wonder and… legal questions. 

About Mito

History 101: Mito has grown from 3 guys, averaging an age of 27, to 4 Business Units with close to 250 people dreaming up the most clever things our clients have never yet seen. 

About Possibly-Future-You

We do a bit of everything—global campaigns, high-tech digital tools, you name it. And with all that exciting stuff comes legal puzzles. If the thought of shaping a Compliant Company Culture (CCC™) excites you, keep reading.

As Senior Legal Counsel, you’ll be our legal compass, ensuring we stay sharp, compliant, and creatively fearless. You’ll oversee legal strategy, manage risks, and keep our contracts solid. Leading one legal associate, you’ll report to our COO and collaborate with key teams across the company.

    If everything is cool with your resume, we’ll invite you to our office for a quick chat. You’ll meet with one of our colleagues from the People Team, who will introduce you to Mito and all the good stuff you will be part of if you decide to join us. She will be with you throughout the entire process and will assist you with anything you might need. You will have the opportunity to meet with the head of your future department as well. Most importantly, you will get to ask anything you’re curious about, from where our dogs take a nap to what specific tasks we work on for our clients.

    Afterwards, we will give you a test assignment. We do this with everyone, on every level.
