When you work with the world's most innovative companies, you know you're
making a difference.
Our clients are the game changers, leaders and investors who fuel the global
innovation economy. They're the businesses behind the next medical
breakthroughs. And the visionaries whose new technologies could transform the
way people live and work.
They come to SVB for our expertise, deep network and nearly forty years of
experience in the industries we serve, and to partner with diverse teams of
passionate, enterprising SVBers, dedicated to an inclusive approach to helping
them grow and succeed at every stage of their business.
Join us at SVB and be part of bringing our clients' world-changing ideas to
life. At SVB, we have the opportunity to grow and collectively make an impact
by supporting the innovative clients and communities SVB serves. We pride
ourselves in having both a diverse client roster and an equally diverse and
inclusive organization. And we work diligently to encourage all with different
ways of thinking, different ways of working, and especially those
traditionally underrepresented in technology and financial services, to apply.
Job Description:
Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) seeks an exceptional financial services attorney to
join our team of driven legal professionals. In this Counsel position, you
will work closely with cross-functional teams to develop and implement SVB’s
next-generation suite of financial products and services for our most
innovative clients. You will advise on a range of legal and regulatory issues
related to the structuring, implementation, and delivery of the financial
products and services that our commercial bank and asset management clients
require. You will establish and maintain legal guidance for complex
transactions. You will actively collaborate with colleagues across a spectrum
of disciplines, including commercial bankers, foreign exchange traders, asset
management advisors, product designers and developers, risk and compliance
officers, and operational teams, all working at the intersection of finance,
technology, and design. You will bring your knowledge and abilities to bear to
provide full product life-cycle counseling, from ideation and development to
launch, operation and sunset. In addition, you will provide meaningful and
engaged contributions to SVB Legal’s ongoing commitment to develop best-in-
class practices.
At SVB, we embrace a connected workplace with a flexible, hybrid working model
to take advantage of our remote and in-person collaboration capabilities.
While this position is ideally located in or near one of the following key SVB
locations: California (San Francisco) or New York (New York City), there is
flexibility to consider candidates in other locations near an SVB U.S. office.
Up for the challenge? Here's what we're looking for in a candidate:
* Curiosity. A colleague with a growth mindset and a spirit of continuous learning, who is eager to think creatively and engage with multiple financial products and services on a daily basis.
* Flexibility, empathy, and adaptability. These attributes will allow you to collaborate effectively with colleagues in Legal, the business, and our compliance and risk functions to implement practical, risk-calibrated solutions.
* Drive. A willingness to roll up sleeves to build the operational infrastructure that is part of building a business is essential.
* Knowledge. Proven capability and familiarity with at least one category of financial products and services (derivatives, asset management, and/or investment funds experience preferred), including typical documentation and a clear understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks upon which design and delivery of these financial products and services rests, such as Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Commodity Exchange Act, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, banking laws, securities laws, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the CFTC, SEC, Federal Reserve, NFA, and FINRA.
* Accountability. We expect you to take ownership of matters to which you are assigned, seize the initiative to engage with colleagues within Legal and across the organization, seek out additional information relevant to the task at hand, ask hard questions, and provide great legal counsel for the issues of today and tomorrow.
* Discipline. Our success depends on our ability to execute as a team, so we must be able to depend on your ability to reliably memorialize guidance and analysis delivered to the business in the course of building and implementing new products and solutions.
* Humility. The nature of our mission demands that we gracefully admit and learn from mistakes.
In addition to the above qualities, we seek a candidate with these attributes:
* 3 to 5 years of relevant legal and on-the-job experience, either at a top-tier law firm or in-house;
* Admission to either NY or CA bars (if licensed in NY and residing in CA, eligible to register as in-house counsel in CA);
* A J.D. from a top tier law school and excellent academic credentials; and
* Strong professional references, especially from your current employer.
Come join and contribute to a best-in-class legal team!
