Job Overview
We are looking for a highly motivated and detailed oriented attorney to join our growing team!
At Valley Bank, we believe in people’s growth potential. We invest in it. We protect it. We focus it. For nearly 100 years, we’ve been the Bank that clients from every industry turn to for our expertise, strategies, and advice–building the kind of trust that can fuel every goal. We are the leading relationship bank built for growth–with over $60 billion in assets, 3,800 experts, and more than 200 consumer branches and commercial banking offices in communities across the US.
At Valley, we’re all driven by an ambition that goes deeper than just having a job. That’s why when you work for us, we make it our goal to help you focus on what drives you–working to turn your passions and strengths into assets you can use to propel your ambitions and build the professional legacy you want. Because when we say we’re a relationship bank built for growth, that’s not just reserved for our clients–that includes all our associates as well.
As our Assistant General Counsel – Ethics and Employment Investigations, you will be a key member of Valley’s employment law practice and ethics program, working closely with colleagues in legal, HR, Compliance, Fraud Risk and the business to provide regular reporting on ethics-related matters and other employee trends.
The position provides legal support across the employee lifecycle-from recruitment to offboarding-while monitoring employment law developments, guiding policy updates, offering internal training programs on compliance and employment law and supporting internal investigations and administrative claims.
Ideal candidates will bring experience in workplace investigations, litigation and responding to administrative claims (e.g., EEOC, DOL, state agencies), working with outside counsel and advising on resolution strategies. Along with a strong interest in expanding their expertise across the full spectrum of workplace legal issues.
This position offers significant opportunities for professional growth and is an excellent opportunity for attorneys looking to advance their in-house career in employment law.
