Abs Securitization Jobs Near Me

We're looking for an Associate General Counsel to own legal support for the Finance team and our capital markets and securitization program, reporting to the Deputy General Counsel.

The impact you'll make:

Behind every Mission Lane credit line is capital, and behind that capital is legal work that has to hold up: equity investments, ABS transactions and SEC filings. The Associate General Counsel in this role keeps that footing solid, so Capital Markets and Finance can keep unlocking the capital that moves more people further down their path to financial progress. You'll do that by:

• Serving as legal lead on ABS transactions, debt and structured debt deals, and M&A transactions
• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating transaction documents, credit facilities and third-party contracts with partner banks, service providers, and technology vendors
• Supporting IPO readiness projects, including building out processes to meet our current and future SEC reporting obligations
• Managing outside counsel on Capital Markets and Finance matters so we get timely, high-quality advice on a cost effective basis
• Tracking legal and market developments that could affect the business before they become a problem and flagging them early
• Supporting corporate governance work as needed, including board and committee meeting prep and corporate resolutions

You'll thrive in this role if:

• You're experienced at drafting, reviewing and negotiating complex corporate financing agreements, whether at a law firm or in-house.
• You have real, recent experience with SEC reporting and disclosure.
• You are curious, interested in being challenged with new legal and business projects, and want to be part of a growing team and company.
• You're humble and thoughtful, and you operate without needing much direction. You'd rather bring a proposed solution to a problem than a question and you spot the fundamental issue before anyone asks you to look for it.
• You want to build something, not maintain it. If Mission Lane goes public, you'd help build our SEC reporting and corporate compliance programs and shape how they work.
• You partner comfortably with our Capital Markets and Finance executives in a room where the legal question is real but isn't the only thing on the table and where your read on the situation carries weight.

Minimum Qualifications:

• JD from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing in at least one U.S. state bar
• 5+ years of relevant law firm experience or 7+ years of relevant in-house or combined legal experience, with strong, hands-on experience drafting, reviewing and negotiating complex corporate agreements
• Demonstrated experience supporting SEC reporting obligations (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, proxy statements) and a strong working knowledge of current SEC rules and disclosure requirements
• Exceptional analytical, writing and communication skills, including the ability to translate legal issues for non-lawyers
• Strong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to prioritize and execute independently without needing day-to-day direction
• A high standard of integrity, humility and sound judgment
• Able to work remotely, with periodic required travel for team gatherings and business needs

Preferred Qualifications:

• Background in structured finance beyond ABS: warehouse lending facilities, whole loan sales or forward flow arrangements
• Familiarity with consumer financial products and the regulations that come with them
• In-house experience at a late-stage private company, including exposure to investor relations or pre-IPO readiness work

Compensation:

Annual full-time starting base salary range: $178,000 - $225,000

This role is eligible for additional compensation in the forms of participation in our annual incentive and equity programs.

Pay is based on factors such as work experience, education, certification(s), training, skills, and competencies related to the role. Mission Lane also offers a comprehensive benefits plan, which includes paid time off, 401(k) match, a monthly wellness stipend, health/dental/vision insurance options, disability coverage, paid parental leave, flexible spending account (for childcare and healthcare), life insurance, and a remote-first work environment.
