About the Team:
Product Legal is responsible for serving as embedded legal advisor to product teams, supporting business teams through the life cycle of product development. We also help business teams interpret privacy obligations consistent with A Complete Financial Stack to Build Your Company's risk tolerance. In this role, you will be advisor and confidant to product teams developing new tools for a scaling company's financial-services needs. You will advise on legal regimes for privacy, as well as product questions in financial services and payments. Experience in fintech or financial-information privacy is welcomed, as is a passion for mastering something new. You must have subject-matter expertise in privacy–and other relevant subject-matter expertise may include knowledge of fintech and financial information, payments, commercial lending, banking, and privacy. Polymaths encouraged to apply.

What You'll Do:
We're looking for someone skilled at digesting the law and then communicating technical, legal concepts to the designers, engineers, and product wizards that build A Complete Financial Stack to Build Your Company's magic products–someone who exudes curiosity and embraces a growth mindset. You will educate internal stakeholders on how to leverage in-house counsel, build strong relationships with business teams, and understand the business environment. You will advise on legal and privacy requirements for new products and, when you don't know the answer, will know how to obtain the answer and explain it to business partners.

You should have:

At least 5 years experience as a lawyer, knocking it out of the park in everything you've done, at a top law firm, in-house, or in government. This means you should have a demonstrated record of success, in legal and non-legal pursuits.
Subject-matter expertise in privacy and data protection. Other relevant background may include fintech and financial information.
Superlative communication skills - you understand the role of a lawyer as a communicator.
Ability to go zero to sixty on new subject matter and master new areas of the law seemingly overnight.
Humility, kindness, decency, character, and a propensity for offering to help a colleague when sick or for remembering someone's birthday.
Thinking-outside-the-box to regulatory interpretation - you should feel comfortable reading a regulation and interpreting it based on its text, rather than solely based on the way it's generally understood in industry.
Ability to make decisions with incomplete information and excellent judgment.
Growth mindset - you take initiative, going beyond your role to assume responsibility and to look for ways to be helpful.
Track record of moving with urgency and focus.
Passions outside the law.
