About the Role

The Card Legal Team is seeking a strategic and collaborative attorney to advise our credit card business and to help optimize our internal marketing tools and processes. The attorney in this role will be a key player on the team advising on the marketing of Capital One card products and features and will play a foundational role in helping to develop complex tools and resources that will help unlock the next wave of marketing at Capital One.

You’ll work closely with the business and with other lawyers to help develop tools and resources that will drive more efficient generation and review of marketing collateral, including tools that unlock the use of generative AI in the marketing lifecycle.

Prior experience in financial services laws, marketing and advertising laws, and/or general risk management is a plus, but not strictly required.
