Senior Counsel, Senior Manager - Financial Crimes

Capital One's Legal Department is seeking a highly-motivated attorney to serve as a senior counsel in its Regulatory Legal practice. In this role, you will serve as a legal advisor principally on matters relating to anti-money laundering (AML), economic sanctions, and anti-bribery and corruption, but may also advise on other areas of law such as payments and/or consumer protection law. You will work with colleagues across Capital One's lines of business, as well as with compliance officers, auditors, and regulators and you'll do it all in a collaborative, supportive environment that values your insight, promotes continuous learning, and rewards creative thinking.

To succeed in this role, you should have a solid command of US AML laws and regulations and ideally some experience with OFAC sanctions and anti-bribery and corruption laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Bank Bribery Act. You should have some experience advising on complex and highly-regulated matters where the law and environment are unclear and evolving. Experience working in a financial crimes compliance or legal role at a financial institution, law firm, or government agency is preferred.

Experience with other areas of bank regulatory or consumer protection law is a plus --- particularly experience advising on legal issues regarding payments and familiarity with the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA), Regulation E, and National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) rules.

A successful candidate will also have a demonstrated ability and willingness to work as a results-oriented team player, interacting with attorneys and other colleagues across departments and job levels; the ability to work in a fast-paced environment with limited supervision; strong organizational skills with impeccable attention to detail; excellent analytical, oral and written communication skills; and the ability to work cooperatively with internal constituents to create efficient processes and to get issues resolved across organizational boundaries and levels.

• Support Compliance Department, Business Risk Offices, Lines of Business, and Audit in interpreting and implementing new rules, guidance and enforcement actions
