Senior Manager, Senior Counsel - Financial Services Legal Team (Hybrid)
As a Senior Counsel on the Financial Services Legal Team, you will apply your strategic and analytical skills to major challenges and significant business initiatives as a member of Capital One's Financial Services ("FS") Division. Capital One's FS Division is a leader and pioneer in the auto finance and technology industries specializing in the delivery of AI, machine learning, and other tech-enabled products and solutions. You will serve in a key role supporting and advising the business in our pursuit to dream, disrupt, and deliver solutions for consumers, dealers, and partners.
As a member of the FS Legal Team, you will partner with a passionate and customer-centric business that is fueling the future of one of the nation's largest indirect auto-finance companies. Within this role, you'll be a true counselor to the business and have the opportunity to advise analysts, technologists, designers, and marketers across FS who are tasked with strategizing and building innovative solutions to division-wide challenges and designing products and content central to helping cultivate Capital One's iconic and nationally-recognized brand.
This is an opportunity to identify complex risks, solve problems, and help shape dynamic strategies that directly impact our customers and internal business partners. You will build innovative solutions and services, counsel the business on a wide range of issues-from consumer-finance laws and regulations to strategy, data, and risk-all within a highly collaborative environment. We value your insight, encourage you to take on new responsibility, and reward continuous learning and intellectual curiosity, positioning you for an exciting career with a leading player in the financial services industry.
A successful candidate will display:
Strong executive communication skills
Impeccable written and oral communication credentials
Strategic-influencing skills and the ability to drive consensus across diverse teams through exercising sound judgment and employing interpersonal and negotiation capabilities
The ability to take complex ideas/problems and break them down into simple and digestible concepts/solutions
A successful track record of thriving and leading with heart, hunger, humility, and horsepower in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and dynamic environment.
Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Strategic Advice: Understanding technology, the auto finance business, and the rapidly evolving landscapes for both, fostering innovation through an understanding of the applicable laws, and charting a course for rolling out, marketing, selling, and negotiating agreements for innovative products where no clear roadmap exists. You'll drill down into how we do what we do, and why we do what we do, so we can build a better way.
Translating: Understanding the law ( e.g. , data privacy, IP, antitrust, TILA/Reg Z, ECOA/Reg B, FCRA/Reg V, UDAAP), understanding the business and the auto industry, knowing the technology itself (APIs, AI, OSS, machine learning) and exhibiting an innate desire to learn along with it. You'll appreciate dynamic business intent, regulatory requirements, and legal guardrails and best practices, fluidly transition between legalese and developer speak, and do so comfortably with analysts and senior executives alike.
Business ownership: Working hand-in-hand with the business to solve problems in flight. You'll need an ownership mindset and to view yourself as part of the business team. You don't need to know everything about everything, but you'll have a thirst to understand what you're reading about - a "learning mindset" - that focuses on how to change the world in awesome ways rather than merely reciting statutes and regulations.
Partnering to Foster Innovation: Collaborating closely with colleagues across the Legal Department to fully vet and scale risk. You'll work to push responsible innovation in challenging gray areas. We place a high value on intellectual curiosity, particularly when combined with a "we'll figure out a way" attitude.
