Support ClarityPay’s growth and development efforts with accurate and pragmatic regulatory advice and in-depth legal risk assessments relevant to the company’s development of new financial products.
Provide legal support for ClarityPay’s Compliance and Operational Risk Program.
Develop additional legal and compliance resources for contracting and regulatory compliance.
Collaborate on the resolution of inquiries and complaints from customers and regulators.
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.

At least 2 years of law firm experience.
Significant contract drafting and negotiation experience.

Experience supporting the compliance function of a consumer lender or lending platform.

Collaborative office culture with a strong product mindset.
Opportunities to grow, lead, and shape the future of consumer finance.
