Overview

Manager, Counsel - Card Legal (Hybrid)

The U.S. Card Legal Group is seeking an attorney who enjoys working in a fast-paced and ever-changing legal environment to support U.S. Card Customer Resiliency. The current consumer protection and creditor’s rights landscape is challenging, highly litigious, and quickly evolving. A lot is at stake and the rules are often vague. We are looking for a candidate who can join a group of results-oriented team players who are not afraid to “run to the risk” and take ownership. At the same time, we want team members who can keep a level-head and sense of humor.

Attorney Will:

  • Oversee a portfolio of litigation and outside counsel’s litigation practices;

  • Track the ever-changing statutory and regulatory environment on the national, state, and local level to analyze trends, identify proposed changes, and potentially work with outside groups to influence decision-makers;

  • Partner with other counsel and the business to support new initiatives;

  • Partner with and mentor an amazing team of legal specialists to quickly identify, manage, and deal with risks; and

  • Provide advice to various lines of business within Customer Resiliency.

  • This position will require regular interaction with outside counsel, Capital One business members, Legal Department subject matter experts, and senior line-of-business attorneys .

The Successful Candidate Will Have:

  • Litigation or financial services regulatory experience

  • Ability to support business partners and effectively identify risks and mitigation options

  • Ability to oversee and provide direction to outside counsel

  • Ability to advise in ambiguous circumstances

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

  • Excellent analytical and organizational skills

  • Ability to manage and prioritize a large volume of work, including complex legal issues that may arise suddenly, with competing deadlines

  • Ability and willingness to work as a team player, with comfort interacting with others across departments and job levels

  • Ability to make effective, integrated decisions; and to collaborate effectively with others at all levels in the company

  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, ambiguous, fluid environment with minimal supervision

Basic Qualifications:

  • Juris Doctor from an accredited law school

  • Active member in good standing of at least one state bar

  • At least 3 years of experience as an attorney in a law firm environment, at a government agency, as a military judge advocate, or as in-house counsel

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 4+ years of commercial litigation or regulatory law firm experience or 4+ years financial services regulatory government experience

  • Knowledge of, and proficiency with, financial and consumer protection laws (e.g., FDCPA, FCRA, UDAAP, and state debt collection laws)

  • Complex commercial litigation experience

At this time, Capital One will not sponsor a new applicant for employment authorization for this position.
