We are looking for a Legal/Compliance Operations Specialist to join our Legal and Compliance team in New York. In this role, you will be the operational backbone of the Legal and Compliance function: you will own the day-to-day processing of legal processes served on Current, including garnishments, levies, subpoenas, and bankruptcy notices, and provide hands-on administrative and project support to our attorneys and compliance team members. You will also have the opportunity to build and maintain the systems, trackers, and workflows that keep a small, high-volume legal team running, and you will partner closely with Compliance, Risk Operations, Member Experience, Finance, and our bank partners to make sure legal and compliance obligations are met accurately and on time.
This role is ideal for someone who has handled equivalent legal processes in a bank, fintech, or law firm setting, is meticulous about deadlines and documentation, and is energized by using technology to make legal work faster and more consistent. You will be expected to identify repetitive work, evaluate whether AI or automation can do it better, and put those tools into production responsibly.

Требования

3+ years of experience in legal operations, paralegal, or legal administrative roles, with direct experience processing garnishments, levies, subpoenas, and/or bankruptcy notices at a bank, fintech, lender, or law firm serving financial institutions
Working knowledge of the legal process lifecycle for a deposit and consumer credit business, including account holds, exemption rules, remittance timing, and the effect of the automatic stay on collection activity
Demonstrated, hands-on experience using AI tools in a legal or operations setting to streamline administrative work, and the judgment to know when a task should not be delegated to an AI tool
Exceptional attention to detail and organization, with a track record of managing hard deadlines across many concurrent matters without errors
Sound judgment about confidentiality, privilege, and escalation; you know what to decide yourself and what to bring to an attorney
Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment, and the initiative to build what is missing
Experience at a consumer fintech, neobank, or sponsor-bank program manager, particularly with debit or secured credit card products
Familiarity with Reg E, Reg Z, the FCRA, and state garnishment and exemption laws as they apply to deposit accounts
