Assurant • Atlanta, GA

28d • Remote

About The Position

Join our dynamic and growing Legal team supporting Assurant’s innovative Connected Living business. We are seeking a highly skilled Corporate Counsel to join our Business Legal team with a focus on commercial transactions and B2B agreements. In this role, you will partner closely with key business stakeholders to provide strategic legal guidance, mitigate risk, and enable growth through well‑structured, commercially practical agreements. This role is particularly well‑suited for attorneys who bring experience litigating or managing complex commercial disputes, as that background enhances the ability to anticipate risk, negotiate defensible contract terms, and proactively structure agreements to reduce downstream exposure. Candidates with dispute experience tend to excel in this environment by applying a practical, outcomes‑oriented lens to contract drafting, negotiation strategy, and issue resolution. You will work collaboratively with multiple client teams supporting Assurant’s wireless and extended protection programs, as well as technology‑enabled and digital products and support services, operating at the intersection of innovation, regulation, and customer impact. This is a remote position, with a strong preference for candidates based in the Miami, FL area. However, we will consider top talent from other locations.
