Senior Attorney
mastercardPasadena (CA)
About the role
$117,000 - $176,000, a Senior Attorney title, and a Pasadena, CA team that ships, that's the offer; GDPR Compliance is the price of entry at Mastercard. Reduce it to essentials and you have $117,000 - $176,000, a CA Senior Attorney seat, 7 years asked, and a clear climb ahead.
Key Responsibilities:
Sense when a Pasadena relationship needs a call, not an email
Use GDPR Compliance to streamline routine tasks and free up capacity
Apply GDPR Compliance and Collaboration to solve day-to-day operational challenges
Partner sideways with teams who rarely sit in the same room
Own your mistakes loudly and your wins quietly
What You'll Bring Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent
A point of view on Mastercard's space, sharpened by your own reading
Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
A Pasadena network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
Everything Mastercard ships starts as an unhurried argument in a Pasadena conference room about how Due Diligence should really work. We keep ego out of code review and let the GDPR Compliance argument win on its merits.
Expect a $117,000 - $176,000 base, a growth path with milestones, a mentor who shows up, and benefits that make staying at Mastercard easy.
Actively staffed and live, this Pasadena, CA opening is no relic.
The team in Pasadena, CA is one strong Senior Attorney away from complete, and that could be you.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
