Responsibilities

Translating: You understand the law, the commercial software industry, and the technology itself (open source software, development, APIs, the cloud, etc.). You are fluent in, and fluidly transition between, Legalese, English, and Developer speak. You are comfortable talking to developers and Sr. Executives. You are able to take complex legal topics and explain this in a succinct and cohesive manner

Thirst for Knowledge: You don’t know everything about everything, but when you read a draft of a presentation or article about Bayesian networks, multi-cloud, or dynamic linking you’re the type of person who wants to learn what those things are. You’re not frustrated by things you don’t know about; you’re intrigued

Strategic Advice: Understanding the commercial software business, fostering innovation through an understanding of the applicable law, and working around the corners of novelty. You’ll be something of an explorer. You will use more than just legal skills to advise the business on strategic initiatives and issues

Partnering to Foster Innovation: Collaborating closely with colleagues across the Legal Department to fully vet and scale risk. You’ll work to push responsible innovation in challenging gray areas. You’ll nurture new products as they grow and launch in a highly regulated environment

An Ownership Mentality: You are the Legal point person for a commercial software product or products. You own the Legal issues, including drafting product terms, conducting export control analysis, or advising the product team on sanctions screening requirements. Don’t worry though, you’ll have plenty of support from your Capital One Legal Department colleagues

Transaction Management: You will oversee Capital One Software deals related to your product from start to execution. You will serve as the transactional escalation point for all major deals and you must be able to effectively and efficiently prioritize competing deals to support Go To Market and Sales strategies
