About The Position

The Senior Corporate Attorney role exists to fundamentally transform how the legal function operates on a day-to-day basis. Today, legal support is centralized too tightly at the top. This role is designed to take meaningful ownership of core legal workstreams so the Deputy General Counsel can operate at the right altitude and the business can move faster with confidence. This is not a theoretical senior counsel role. It is a hands-on, execution-oriented position for an attorney who is comfortable operating with high autonomy, incomplete information, and real-time business pressure. The work spans commercial contracting, privacy and AI law, marketing reviews, and ongoing legal guidance across sales, product, HR, and operations. The expectation is not perfection, it is sound judgment, clear risk framing, authentic professional relationships, and creative solutions that enable the business rather than stall it. Privacy and AI law sit at the center of this role. SRSA operates in a regulated fintech environment where data usage, product design, and customer trust are inseparable. This counsel will help translate evolving privacy and AI regulations into practical guidance that teams can actually use, partnering closely with Risk and Information Security to strengthen data mapping, respond to client and regulatory inquiries, and support responsible technology adoption. Cross-functionally, this role interacts frequently with Sales, Product, Marketing, Risk, InfoSec, HR, and executive leadership. At SRSA, Legal is viewed as a service partner, not a gatekeeper, and success in this role requires empathy for how work gets done across the organization. This role reports to the Deputy General Counsel and is trusted to operate independently. The team environment values autonomy, humor, direct communication, and a solution focus.
