Fig est une fintech canadienne qui rend les prêts personnels plus simples, plus rapides et plus accessibles pour les Canadiens. Nous offrons des prêts personnels entièrement numériques, qui permettent aux clients de faire une demande en quelques minutes et d’obtenir une décision rapidement, sans paperasse, sans visite en succursale et sans longs délais.
Depuis notre lancement en 2023, nous avons connu une croissance rapide et avons reçu plusieurs distinctions, dont celles de Prêteur à la consommation de l’année et de Startup fintech de l’année. Nous sommes fiers d’être régulièrement classés parmi les Meilleurs lieux de travail au Canada et d’obtenir une note de 4,8/5 sur Trustpilot de la part de nos clients.
Soutenue par la Banque Fairstone du Canada et le Régime de retraite des enseignantes et des enseignants de l’Ontario, Fig combine une expertise approfondie en prêts avec l’agilité d’une startup.
Fig est à la recherche d’un conseiller·ère juridique principal·e pour soutenir sa prochaine étape de croissance. Relevant de la cheffe du contentieux, vous agirez comme conseiller·ère juridique auprès des équipes de Fig sur des questions commerciales, de protection des renseignements personnels, de produit, d’exploitation et de réglementation.
Ce poste est idéal pour un avocat ou une avocate qui comprend la complexité des services financiers, qui souhaite travailler près des équipes d’affaires et qui aime réaliser le travail directement.
Vous pourriez négocier une entente importante avec un fournisseur un jour, puis conseiller l’entreprise sur un lancement de produit, une question de protection des renseignements personnels, un processus destiné aux consommateurs ou l’utilisation responsable de l’IA le lendemain. Le rythme est rapide, les priorités peuvent changer rapidement, et le travail exige du jugement, un sens de la responsabilité et une aisance à prendre des décisions avec de l’information imparfaite.
Fig est un employeur qui souscrit au principe de l’égalité des chances et s’engage à bâtir une équipe diversifiée et inclusive.
Nous accueillons les candidatures de personnes de tous horizons et ne faisons aucune discrimination fondée sur la race, la religion, la culture, l’orientation sexuelle, l’identité de genre ou le handicap.
Nous cherchons à créer un environnement où chaque personne se sent respectée, soutenue et en mesure d’être pleinement elle-même au travail. Nous offrons également des mesures d’adaptation tout au long du processus de recrutement. Si vous avez besoin de soutien, dites-le-nous simplement.
Nous vous remercions de votre intérêt à vous joindre à Fig. Notre équipe examinera les candidatures et communiquera avec les personnes retenues pour passer à l’étape suivante du processus.
Nous pouvons utiliser des outils d’IA pour soutenir certaines parties de notre processus d’embauche, par exemple pour examiner les candidatures, analyser les CV ou évaluer les réponses. Ces outils appuient notre équipe, mais ne remplacent pas le jugement humain, et toutes les décisions d’embauche sont ultimement prises par des personnes.
Si vous avez des questions sur la façon dont vos renseignements sont traités, n’hésitez pas à communiquer avec nous.

Since launching in 2023, we’ve grown quickly and earned recognition including Consumer Lender of the Year and FinTech Startup of the Year. We’re proud to be consistently ranked among Canada’s Best Workplaces, with a 4.8/5 Trustpilot rating from our customers.

Fig is looking for a Senior Legal Counsel to support our next stage of growth. Reporting to the General Counsel, you will be a hands-on legal advisor to teams across Fig on commercial, privacy, product, operational, and regulatory matters.
This role is ideal for a lawyer who understands the complexity of financial services, wants to work close to the business, and enjoys doing the work directly.
You may be negotiating a key vendor agreement one day and advising on a product launch, privacy question, consumer-facing process, or responsible use of AI the next. The pace is fast, priorities can shift quickly, and the work requires judgment, ownership, and comfort making decisions with imperfect information.
Act as a trusted legal advisor to teams across Fig on commercial, product, privacy, consumer, technology, marketing, and operational matters.
Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including SaaS agreements, vendor and service provider agreements, NDAs, partnership agreements, and other business-critical contracts.
Provide practical legal advice on product and business initiatives, including issues relating to consumer lending, privacy, disclosures, customer communications, vendor management, and digital financial services.
Advise on privacy and data matters, including data use, consent, retention, vendor arrangements, and privacy-by-design considerations.
Advise on the responsible use of AI and emerging technologies across the business, including legal, privacy, governance, and risk considerations.
Develop and improve contract templates, playbooks, policies, and practical guidance that help the business operate and scale efficiently and consistently.
5 to 8 years of legal experience, ideally with exposure to financial services, fintech, banking, lending, payments, insurance, consumer finance, technology, or another regulated industry.
Strong commercial contracting experience, including the ability to draft, review, negotiate, and close agreements with good judgment and limited hand-holding.
Comfort working with regulated products or services, including the ability to translate legal and regulatory requirements into clear and business-oriented guidance.
Experience with privacy, data, technology, vendor, or consumer-facing legal issues.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to give clear and practical advice to both legal and non-legal stakeholders.
A collaborative mindset and the ability to build trust across functions while maintaining independent legal judgment.
Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment with limited structure, shifting priorities. You take ownership, make sound decisions, and have a shared sense of purpose to “Get Stuff Done” (#GSD).
Full professional proficiency in French and English, both written and spoken. This helps you collaborate with stakeholders and regulators based in Quebec and across Canada.
Member in good standing of a provincial bar in Canada or of the Chambre des notaires du Québec.
Impact and autonomy: Fig is still small enough that your legal advice will directly shape business decisions. You will have room to own files, make recommendations, and take responsibility for your judgment, while working closely with the General Counsel and business leaders.
Strong culture: Work in a team that values impact, accountability, curiosity, and collaboration.
Flexibility and balance: This role requires ownership and responsiveness, but we are intentional about building a culture where strong performance and work-life balance can coexist. We offer a hybrid work environment with a balance of remote and in-office work.
Competitive compensation: Expected base salary range between $120 000 and $160 000, plus the opportunity to earn an annual incentive bonus tied to performance.
Retirement savings program: Employer matching to support your long-term financial goals.
Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, and vision group insurance, as well as health and wellness spending accounts.
Time off: Generous vacation and wellness time to support rest and recharge.
Parental support: Parental leave top-up to support your growing family.
Growth and Development: Continuing education stipend to support your professional development.
Fig is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and do not discriminate based on race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.
We’re focused on creating an environment where everyone feels respected, supported, and able to bring their full selves to work. We also provide accommodations throughout the recruitment process. If you need support, just let us know.
We appreciate your interest in joining Fig. Our team will review applications and contact candidates selected to move forward in the process.
We may use AI tools to support parts of our hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our team but do not replace human judgment, and all hiring decisions are ultimately made by people.
If you have questions about how your information is handled, feel free to reach out to us.
