About the Role
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, owning the day-to-day processing of legal processes served on Current, including garnishments, levies, subpoenas, and bankruptcy notices. You will provide hands-on administrative and project support to attorneys and compliance team members, and build and maintain systems, trackers, and workflows. You will partner closely with Compliance, Risk Operations, Member Experience, Finance, and bank partners to ensure 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 identify repetitive work, evaluate AI or automation for improvement, and implement these tools responsibly.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary point of intake for legal and other process served on Current, including bank account garnishments, levies, subpoenas, bankruptcy notifications, and account verifications
- Review incoming process for facial validity, proper service, and jurisdiction; identify affected member accounts; and coordinate account holds, releases, and remittances with Risk Operations, Finance, and bank partners within the deadlines required by the issuing court or agency
- Prepare and send customer notices, responses to issuing parties, and certifications as required, and escalate contested, ambiguous, or high-exposure matters to attorneys with a clear summary and recommendation
- Maintain complete, audit-ready records of every item of legal process received, actions taken, and dates, and produce periodic reporting on volume, turnaround times, and exceptions
- Draft and maintain written procedures for legal process handling
- Manage the Legal team’s document management system, contract repository, and matter tracker; ensure executed agreements, corporate records, and regulatory correspondence are filed, indexed, and retrievable
- Assist with litigation and regulatory inquiry support, including document collection and fact investigation
- Work with the Legal team’s attorneys to assist in the reviewing, drafting, and negotiation of contracts–including NDAs, DPAs, vendor agreements, and more–to ensure that deals are negotiated and executed in accordance with business timelines
- Identify repetitive, high-volume legal, compliance, and other administrative tasks and design workflows that use AI and automation tools to reduce manual effort while preserving accuracy and appropriate attorney oversight
- Deploy and administer AI-assisted tools for tasks such as first-pass review and data extraction from legal process
- Partner with Compliance, InfoSec, and Engineering to evaluate new legal technology and AI vendors
Requirements
- 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
