- Provide legal support for ClarityPay's Compliance and Operational Risk Program.
- Support commercial contracting efforts with merchants and vendors.
- Collaborate on the development and improvement of internal policies, procedures, and processes.
- Project-manage various key legal and compliance projects.
- Support or own other legal projects as determined by the Chief Legal & Compliance Officer.
Qualifications:
- JD from a top tier law school and a license to practice in good standing in primary state of residence.
- 7+ years total legal experience.
- At least 2 years of law firm experience.
- Deep experience advising clients on consumer financial services matters.
- Contract drafting and negotiation experience.
- Strong legal research skills.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to learn and leverage new technology quickly and effectively, including hands-on experience leveraging modern AI tools for legal work.
Bonus Points:
- Prior experience in fintech lending.
- Broad legal experience covering regulatory, transactional, and dispute resolution matters.
- Prior experience performing in-depth legal risk assessments on consumer financial services regulations.
- Experience supporting the compliance function of a consumer lender or lending platform.
- Experience working with regulators to quickly and effectively resolve inquiries, complaints, or information requests.
What We Offer:
- Competitive compensation and equity package.
- Comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision).
- Collaborative office culture with a strong product mindset.
- Opportunities to grow, lead, and shape the future of consumer finance.
- 401k program with employer match.
Role Details:
- Preference for candidates near our headquarters in New York, NY or the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area.
- Limited travel is expected, primarily for corporate gatherings and industry conferences.
- This role will report to the Chief Legal & Compliance Officer.
Salary Range: $180,000 to $220,000 per year.
