Silicon Valley Bank
Senior Counsel, Governance and Assistant Corporate Secretary (Finance)
When you work with the world's most innovative companies, you know you're making a difference.
Our clients are the game changers, leaders and investors who fuel the global innovation economy. They're the businesses behind the next medical breakthroughs. And the visionaries whose new technologies could transform the way people live and work.
They come to SVB for our expertise, deep network and nearly forty years of experience in the industries we serve, and to partner with diverse teams of passionate, enterprising SVBers, dedicated to an inclusive approach to helping them grow and succeed at every stage of their business.
Join us at SVB and be part of bringing our clients' world-changing ideas to life. At SVB, we have the opportunity to grow and collectively make an impact by supporting the innovative clients and communities SVB serves. We pride ourselves in having both a diverse client roster and an equally diverse and inclusive organization. And we work diligently to encourage all with different ways of thinking, different ways of working, and especially those traditionally underrepresented in technology and financial services, to apply.
Job Description
SVB is currently seeking candidates for the position of Senior Counsel (or other title depending on experience) to provide leadership over our governance and corporate secretarial matters. This position will work with the Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary team to support SVB's Board of Directors and handle other important governance matters, including our proxy statement. A successful candidate must have strong knowledge of SEC, Nasdaq and/or NYSE, applicable federal and state banking and corporate law and regulations related to Board and corporate governance. Prior experience working with or for a large banking institution or other regulated business would be most ideal.
At SVB, we embrace a connected workplace with a flexible, hybrid working model to take advantage of our remote and in-person collaboration capabilities. While this position is ideally located in California (Palo Alto, San Francisco or Santa Clara) or New York (New York City), there is flexibility to consider candidates in other locations near an SVB U.S. office.
You will report to the Deputy General Counsel leading corporate governance matters and Office of Corporate Secretary.
We are expanding our Office of Corporate Secretary and are looking for candidates who want to make a difference and have impact. We invite you to apply if you are up for a challenge and want to help lead these efforts!
