Be a strategic thought partner and advisor: Provide proactive, business-minded legal advice to our senior product leaders on the evolution of our Business Core.  You’ll also be something of an investigator: you’ll work on projects that unite our many lines of business, 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 understand the business’ objectives, understand the full landscape and context of the applicable law, and work through unchartered territory as you apply the law to business initiatives.

Translate the law: Act as the subject matter expert on a wide range of regulatory issues. You’ll need to understand the law and work with our regulatory subject matter experts on novel issues, understand the business and their customers (e.g., small business, commercial), understand the technology, and put them all together as a trusted business advisor.  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.

Quarterback: You are the Legal point person for your area. You have a defined scope, but aren’t stuck in a box. You own the legal issues, including drafting product terms, reviewing marketing collateral, and interfacing with business leaders.  Don’t worry though, you’ll have plenty of support from the rest of your Legal Team. We problem solve together.

Build scalable solutions: Help build processes, playbooks, and training materials that enable our product teams and stakeholders to move quickly and confidently.
