• Embed yourself with business partners and provide tactical and pragmatic legal counsel for special projects, pilot programs, and other key initiatives

• Proactively partner with cross-functional business teams and shared services (e.g., privacy, fair housing, finance, compliance, risk, licensing, communications, and marketing) to identify and resolve novel legal matters that arise during the product development lifecycle

• Analyze proposed and enacted legislative changes that impact assigned products and work with government relations and product teams to develop and carry out implementation plans

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including for key strategic partnerships

• Collaborate closely with other internal partners, including other product attorneys, privacy, finance, tax, risk management and information security and compliance
