Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card follow-through: 63%

Of 16 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 6 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 500 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

Files H-1B transfers

2 transfer filings in the last year, covering 2 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • As Marqeta's Assistant General Counsel, Corporate you will be a senior member of the Corporate Legal team.
  • This role is not a generalist corporate role.
  • The ideal candidate has gone deep on the disclosure craft, has strong instincts about what boards and investors care about, and can translate complex legal obligations into practical, actionable guidance for a fast-moving executive team.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as a key support for Marqeta's Disclosure Committee, coordinating cross-functional review and certification processes with Finance, IR, and executive leadership.
  • Draft and finalize minutes for board and committee meetings; manage DocuSign execution and maintenance of board records.
  • Support executive session and director independence assessments in coordination with outside counsel.

Requirements

  • 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 are also a genuine team member.
  • 10-15 years of legal experience, with a meaningful and demonstrable focus on public company securities, SEC disclosure, and corporate governance.
  • Experience supporting a public company board of directors and its committees, including preparation of materials and minutes.
  • Excellent written communication skills - this role requires clear, precise legal drafting and the ability to write for directors, executives, and the investing public.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Nice to have

  • J.D. degree and active membership in good standing in at least one U.S. state bar (California or New York preferred).
