• Understanding of consumer financial services regulatory landscape (e.g., UDAP/UDAAP, FCRA, state consumer protection laws) and how regulations impact commercial arrangements.
• Excellent contract drafting, review, and negotiation skills with strong understanding of commercial terms, risk allocation, liability provisions, indemnification, and warranties.
• Intellectual curiosity and fluency in translating legal advice into actionable guidance for business teams; excellent judgment in balancing legal risk with business strategy.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects, negotiations, and stakeholders simultaneously in a dynamic, fast‑paced environment.
• Strong organizational and project management skills with comfort navigating ambiguity and evolving business priorities.
