About the role:

This role provides an opportunity to work at a leading financial institution with a long history of using data and technology to build innovative financial products. You will join an experienced team of legal subject-matter experts focusing on privacy and will advise on a wide range of privacy laws. Our team supports many of the most important and strategic initiatives at the company and works with all lines of business across Capital One’s global footprint.

You will collaborate with other legal, compliance, risk, and business partners at the company, with a particular focus on supporting new initiatives, advising on sector-specific privacy laws and navigating transactional and contract privacy issues.  You will spot issues, solve problems, and influence our partners to mitigate legal and regulatory risk in a challenging and rapidly evolving space.

• Proficiency in negotiating privacy contract language, conducting privacy due diligence, and advising on mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships
