Job Description

DISH is a Fortune 250 company with more than $13 billion in annual revenue that continues to redefine the communications industry. Our legacy is innovation and a willingness to challenge the status quo, including reinventing ourselves. We disrupted the pay-tv industry in the mid-90s with the launch of the DISH satellite TV service, taking on some of the largest U.S. corporations in the process, and grew to be the fourth-largest pay-tv provider. We are doing it again with the first live, internet-delivered TV service - Sling TV - that bucks traditional pay-tv norms and gives consumers a truly new way to access and watch television.

Now we have our sights set on upending the wireless industry and unseating the entrenched incumbent carriers.

We are driven by curiosity, pride, adventure, and a desire to win - it is in our DNA. We are looking for people with boundless energy, intelligence, and an overwhelming need to achieve to join our team as we embark on the next chapter of our story.

Opportunity is here. We are DISH.

DISH is recruiting a transactional attorney to join a 10-lawyer team that supports DISH's and Sling TV's programming business. The primary responsibility is to draft (and help negotiate) license agreements for the video content that DISH and Sling TV make available to customers. This is a writing-intensive position and the subject matter can be very complex. Past candidates who were adept at drafting SEC disclosure statements or M&A agreements have done well in this role. Deal volume is high and long hours (including over weekends) will be required from time-to-time. A strong interest in learning about the US media industry is a prerequisite.

Primary responsibilities fall into the following categories:

* Drafting and negotiating a wide variety of complex commercial contracts
* Managing the life cycle of the transactions you are assigned to
* Working closely with our business teams to learn the DISH programming business

A successful Associate Corporate Counsel will have the following:

* Bachelor's degree from a four-year college or university
* Licensed attorney with a J.D. from an accredited law school
* Law school class rank in the top 33%
* Outstanding attention to detail
* Excellent communication, organization and multi-tasking skills
