• 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 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.

• 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

• 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
