Job Description

THE ROLE

We are seeking an experienced, entrepreneurial attorney to join us as Senior Manager of Business and Legal Affairs. In this role, you’ll work directly with the VP of Business Affairs to structure, negotiate, and execute high-stakes commercial agreements across the Enhanced Games ecosystem, from athlete deals and sponsorships to global media partnerships, venue contracts, and vendor agreements. You’ll be deeply involved in content production matters and intellectual property strategy, advising on issues related to brand protection, trademark management and rights of publicity.

This is not a traditional legal job. It’s a fast-moving, high-ownership role for someone excited to shape a cultural movement and help build a world-class brand at the intersection of sports, science, media, and technology. It’s an exciting opportunity to build a new science and sports organization from the ground up.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Legal Support & Contracting.  You will draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of agreements, including athlete participation and content rights deals, sponsorship and marketing partnerships, vendor and venue contracts, and licensing and media production agreements.

Strategic Initiatives.  You will partner directly with business leads to develop and structure new initiatives, identifying legal risks and implications early in the process.

Media, Content, Trademark & IP.  You will advise on content production, distribution rights, and licensing frameworks, providing strategic counsel on trademark protection, brand licensing, and publicity rights. You will help manage the company’s IP portfolio with outside counsel, including domestic and international filings and enforcement.

Regulatory Support.  You will perform legal research and provide guidance on regulatory frameworks involving enhancement transparency, medical profiling, athlete privacy, and global competition standards. You will support compliance across data protection, advertising law, and emerging legal issues in science-based sport, monitoring regulatory changes in sport and media.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Risk Management.  You will partner with leadership across medical, science, commercial, marketing, and content teams to integrate legal risk assessments into core strategy.
