About the Legal, Compliance, and Public Affairs team
The Legal, Compliance, and Public Affairs team is a group of dedicated professionals committed to helping Affirm scale, innovate, and provide outstanding products for consumers, merchants, and key partners. We combine legal, compliance, and policy expertise to guide growth, shape products, and build trust across our ecosystem. Our work spans multiple professional disciplines and provides the foundation for Affirm’s mission to deliver honest financial products.
About the role
Affirm seeks a practical, proactive, and people-oriented transactional attorney to join our Vendor Legal team. You are pragmatic, solutions-oriented, and comfortable balancing risk with business velocity in a high-growth, technology-driven environment. You will partner closely with Procurement, Financial Partners, and other cross‑functional teams to negotiate a range of vendor transactions. In addition to managing a busy deal pipeline, you will help design and improve processes, playbooks, and programs that increase efficiency and deal velocity so the team can scale with company growth.
What you'll do
Lead negotiation, drafting, and execution of a wide range of vendor agreements, including technology services, cloud services, SaaS, data platform, contractor, marketing/creative, lease, and payment processing engagements. Manage a high volume of deals with speed and sound judgment.
Design, implement, and continuously improve playbooks, contract templates, negotiation guides, and workflows that enable the team to operate efficiently at scale. Identify friction points and build solutions that reduce cycle time without sacrificing quality.
Work closely with procurement, financial partnerships, engineering, product, finance, information security, privacy, and other teams
