Sr Manager/Sr Counsel - Enterprise Platforms, Product Counsel

As Capital One Enterprise Platforms, Product Counsel you’ll apply strategic and analytical skills to Capital One’s delivery of digital experiences. You’ll dive in to understand the technology and services that the product teams deliver, and apply law and financial regulations to these new services. You’ll be a key player in supporting innovation across the bank, including identity management, data management in a complex cloud environment, customer platforms, and messaging & martech platforms. And you’ll do it all in a collaborative, supportive environment that values your insight, promotes continuous learning, and rewards creative thinking.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need strong legal and business skills. Written and oral communication and organizational skills are key, as is the ability to focus on what really matters to drive business initiatives forward while clearly defining legal risk. You should have a successful track record of thriving in a fast paced, entrepreneurial and dynamic environment.

In this role, you’ll be part of a team that:

• Provides strategic advice: Understanding the business, fostering innovation through an understanding of the applicable law, and working around the corners of novelty. You’ll be something of an investigator: you’ll work on projects that unite our many lines of business (Cards, Bank Accounts, Auto Loans, and other Enterprise products), so 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. You’ll help us focus on the ‘enterprise customer experience.

• Translates the law for the business, and translates business intent for the lawyers: Understanding the law (e.g., the alphabet soup of consumer finance laws), understanding the business (e.g., consumer credit, customer identity management, fraud prevention, consumer budgeting and finance), understanding the technology (APIs, mobile and web apps, SaaS, AI, machine learning), and putting them all together in your brain. You’ll translate between business intent, regulatory requirements, legal guardrails, best practices, etc. You won’t need to know everything about everything, but you’ll need to know a little about a lot, and know how to communicate legal requirements to the business, and business requirements to legal subject matter experts.

• Partners 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.

Here are some examples of tasks you would be responsible for:

• Reviewing product feature changes for regulatory compliance issues, meeting with business partners to better under the feature, and drafting recommendations and responses, e.g., outline of next steps, draft legal terms and advice

• Performing legal research, summarizing findings (e.g., privacy laws, TCPA, IP, Reg Z, Reg E, FCRA; APIs, cloud platforms, mobile apps, SaaS, machine learning and artificial intelligence), and developing legal theories when applying the law to complex use cases

• Helping the team draft, organize, and maintain key artifacts, like terms and conditions, and past legal advice

• Managing business and legal meetings, e.g., draft and manage meeting notes and outcomes, manage advice intake request forms and attendees

• Managing and developing team projects and processes
