Corporate Counsel - Atlanta - Assurant

Description

Overview

Join our dynamic and growing Legal team supporting Assurant's innovative Connected Living business. We are seeking a highly skilled Corporate Counsel to join our Business Legal team with a focus on commercial transactions and B2B agreements. In this role, you will partner closely with key business stakeholders to provide strategic legal guidance, mitigate risk, and enable growth through well‑structured, commercially practical agreements.

This role is particularly well‑suited for attorneys who bring experience litigating or managing complex commercial disputes, as that background enhances the ability to anticipate risk, negotiate defensible contract terms, and proactively structure agreements to reduce downstream exposure. Candidates with dispute experience tend to excel in this environment by applying a practical, outcomes‑oriented lens to contract drafting, negotiation strategy, and issue resolution.

You will work collaboratively with multiple client teams supporting Assurant's wireless and extended protection programs, as well as technology‑enabled and digital products and support services, operating at the intersection of innovation, regulation, and customer impact.

This is a remote position, with a strong preference for candidates based in the Miami, FL area. However, we will consider top talent from other locations.

• Provide legal advice to internal business teams on contractual obligations, risk management, and compliance in connection with commercial transactions.
• Lead and support B2B negotiations, ensuring favorable and defensible terms while maintaining strong business relationships.
• Partner cross‑functionally with Sales, Compliance, Risk Management, Procurement, Finance, and Operations to support business objectives.
• Support all aspects of contract lifecycle management, including amendments, renewals, and dispute resolution.
• Stay current on applicable laws, regulations, and industry best practices impacting commercial transactions.
• Embed within assigned business units to understand strategic objectives, key risk drivers, and profitability levers.
• Identify and advise on potential legal risks impacting existing businesses, new ventures, and product offerings.

Qualifications

• Highly autonomous and self‑motivated, with strong judgment, initiative, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with urgency.
• Strong business acumen, including the ability to understand business strategy and basic financial concepts.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze complex legal and regulatory issues and recommend sound, defensible solutions.
• Exceptional oral and written communication skills, with the ability to effectively engage stakeholders at all levels.
