Requirements
• The right person for this role is a precise, confident drafter who takes pride in the quality of their work product. You are organized without being rigid, and you know how to manage the competing demands of an active public company calendar without letting things fall through the cracks. You are comfortable being the person who knows where things stand — on the proxy timeline, on the board calendar, on the insider list — and you take that responsibility seriously. • You communicate directly and professionally, including when you are telling a business stakeholder that something needs to move through legal review before it goes out. You don't mistake urgency for permission to skip steps. • You are also a genuine team member. The Corporate Legal team at Marqeta is small, collegial, and high-trust. We cover for each other, ask good questions, and genuinely enjoy what we do. A great sense of humor is not optional. • J.D. degree and active membership in good standing in at least one U.S. state bar (California or New York preferred). • 10–15 years of legal experience, with a meaningful and demonstrable focus on public company securities, SEC disclosure, and corporate governance. • Substantive, hands-on experience drafting SEC filings — proxy statements, 10-Ks, 10-Qs, and 8-Ks. • Experience supporting a public company board of directors and its committees, including preparation of materials and minutes. • Strong working knowledge of insider trading rules, Section 16 compliance, and equity compensation disclosure. • Top law firm experience preferred. In-house experience at a public company in a corporate or securities function required. • Ability to operate independently, manage multiple time-sensitive workstreams, and escalate appropriately in a lean, high-performing team environment. • Excellent written communication skills — this role requires clear, precise legal drafting and the ability to write for directors, executives, and the investing public. • Nice-To-Haves • Experience at a FinTech, payments, or technology company — familiarity with the intersection of technology product development and SEC disclosure is a genuine advantage. • Delaware corporate law depth, including experience with certificate of incorporation and bylaw matters, director fiduciary duties, and stockholder rights. • Prior experience with proxy advisory firms (ISS, Glass Lewis) and the practical mechanics of annual shareholder meeting execution. • Comfort working directly with CFOs, CEOs, and board directors — and the judgment to know when to escalate and when to decide. • Experience with Diligent Boards or similar board portal platforms. • Your Manager • Lisa Beth Lentini Walker, VP, Deputy General Counsel, Corporate • Typical Process • Typical Process • Application Submission • Recruiter video call • Hiring manager video call • Virtual “Onsite” consisting of 4-5, 45 min calls
