  • Strong proficiency in working with a team-based approach to subject matter management and knowledge sharing, and comfort with a flexible, agile environment that emphasizes collaboration and team performance over management hierarchy. The successful candidate will enthusiastically collaborate with PayPal legal colleagues across our global organization and be able to hit the ground running.

  • 12 or more years of substantive and focused experience practicing in the subject matter areas specified above either in-house, preferably in a bank or fintech environment, or at a law firm.
