The successful candidate will be a practical, business-oriented attorney who can independently navigate complex legal and regulatory issues, exercise sound judgment, and translate legal requirements into clear, actionable guidance for stakeholders. The Attorney-Director will be a member of SEI’s Legal, Compliance, Risk & Corporate Development Department, report to the Senior Director of the Asset Management Legal team, and contribute to a collaborative legal function that supports responsible innovation and the long-term evolution of SEI’s asset management business.
