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 is looking for a thoughtful, collaborative, and skilled employment lawyer to join the Employment Legal and Ethics team as Senior Counsel, Ethics and Employment. This dual-hatted role is ideal for an employment attorney who is enthusiastic and comfortable navigating the complexities of both employment law and investigations, with primary responsibility for (1) managing the day-to-day operations of Affirm's internal ethics program, including conducting ethics investigations, and (2) advising business partners on US employment legal matters generally (unrelated to ethics matters).
