Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

Affirm’s Commercial Legal (Revenue) team is instrumental in building, scaling, and supporting the framework for global commercial transactions and GTM efforts. We focus on structuring, drafting, and negotiating commercial and strategic partnerships involving a diverse range of financial and technology products and services while navigating a complex set of regulations. In this role, you will be a key advisor to affirm’s fast‑growing sales, partnerships, and merchant success teams.

What You’ll Do

  • Structure, draft, negotiate, and review a broad range of global commercial agreements, including highly complex and novel agreements
  • Collaborate with and provide strategic and legal advice to various cross‑functional teams, including but not limited to sales, product, finance, tax, customer ops, and risk
  • Lead or participate in projects to improve internal processes and increase the efficiency and scalability of the Commercial Legal team
  • Train and help educate internal business partners
  • Manage and resolve legal issues that arise in existing domestic and international commercial relationships
  • Support Commercial Legal efforts related to M&A integrations
  • Build and improve templates for global revenue‑generating commercial agreements
  • Build collaborative and effective working relationships with various teams in the U.S. and internationally

What We Look For

  • JD from an accredited school and current member in good standing of the bar in at least one state in the United States
  • 5+ years of complex commercial drafting and negotiation experience (ideally on revenue‑generating contracts); prior in‑house and law‑firm experience is a plus
  • Great project management skills with the ability to organize, prioritize, and remain collected under pressure
  • Ability to prioritize and advance multiple concurrent deals on tight deadlines while producing strong quality work product
  • Excellent judgment, and ability to make timely, pragmatic, and business‑focused decisions in ambiguous situations with imperfect information
  • A strong work ethic, sense of ownership, accountability, and proactive willingness to jump in and do whatever needs to be done
  • Experience drafting and negotiating data privacy terms, including but not limited to CCPA, GLBA and GDPR contract terms
  • Clear and concise communication skills to effectively collaborate and negotiate with both internal and external business and legal teams
  • Adaptability in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment and an enthusiasm for learning
  • Humility, integrity and a sense of humor; you take your work seriously, but not yourself
  • Pay Grade - M

    Equity Grade - 6
