Senior Manager, Senior Counsel - Capital One Software International Counsel (Hybrid)

Capital One Software provides enterprise B2B software and data management solutions to help other businesses accelerate their cloud journeys, manage cloud costs, and secure sensitive data. These products are based on tools Capital One developed internally to support its own large-scale cloud and data management operations, making the bank's technology innovations available to the wider market. The Capital One Software Legal team needs help to support this high growth business.

In this role, you will be the business counsel for Capital One Software’s highly visible and strategic international expansion.  Capital One Software currently has customers in the U.S. and seeks to quickly increase its global footprint by offering its flagship products, Slingshot and Databolt, internationally. This requires dedicated legal expertise to navigate the complex challenges of global B2B software sales. This role is essential for enabling our Go-To-Market teams and ensuring our expansion is executed in a well-managed and compliant manner.

You will oversee all legal advice across international markets for both existing and new product launches.  You will work closely with business leaders to understand the business intent, work with outside counsel and/or internal subject matter experts to identify legal obligations and risks, and then provide recommendations to help the business effectively manage those risks, including by revising user-facing content, drafting product terms and disclosures, and assisting with contractual modifications.  Due to the business’ rapid international growth, this is a highly visible role within the Legal Department and Capital One and offers a chance to develop meaningful relationships across the enterprise.  You should be comfortable thinking “outside the box”.
