Share
To succeed in this role, you’ll need strong business and legal skills, with an ability to draw on prior experience relevant to identifying legal issues associated with the development of machine learning models and algorithms, as well as frontier artificial intelligence. Additionally, written and oral communication and organizational skills are key, as is good judgment and the ability to focus on what really matters to drive business initiatives forward while clearly defining and strategizing on ways to reduce 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: You’ll be something of an investigator: you’ll work on projects that impact our many lines of business and horizontal teams (Branded & Partnerships Cards, Retail Bank, Commercial Bank, Auto Finance, Enterprise products like Capital One Shopping, and internally developed products for our Technology, HR, Finance, and other supporting organizations), 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 legal, policy, and regulatory landscape, and work through uncharted territory as you apply the law to business initiatives.
Translates the law for the business, and translates business intent for the lawyers: You’ll need to understand the legal and regulatory environment (e.g., AI Risk Management Frameworks, AI/ML best practices and responsible use, proposed AI legislation and regulation), understand the business (e.g., consumer credit, consumer budgeting and finance, all those other things related to how we run our business both inside and out), understand the technology (foundation models, agentic AI, APIs, mobile and web applications, SaaS), understand the teams (e.g., business analysts, product, engineering and design professionals), 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.
Partners to foster innovation: You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues across the Legal Department (including and especially the Intellectual Property legal team) to fully evaluate and scale risk. You’ll work to push responsible innovation in challenging gray areas.
