The successful candidate will be a senior leader within the Legal Department, providing expert advice on a wide range of legal and regulatory matters related to consumer financial products and services. This includes but is not limited to, online installment loans, lines of credit, payment products, and other emerging financial products. The role demands a deep understanding of the legal and regulatory framework governing consumer financial services, with a focus on federal and state laws such as TILA, ECOA, FCRA, and others. The Associate General Counsel will also be involved in strategic initiatives, commercial relationships, and enterprise legal risk, and must be prepared to lead significant legal and regulatory initiatives. Applicants for this role at the company should have a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school, active membership in at least one U.S. state bar, and a minimum of 10 years' of legal experience, with at least 5 years' in-house legal experience in a relevant field.

A collaborative, low-ego approach, combined with the confidence and leadership skills to independently own significant legal matters, is essential.
