Get Access To All JobsDirector, Assistant General Counsel - Technology
The Capital One Legal Department is seeking a dynamic, mission-driven attorney who is passionate about technology to join its Legal team as Technology counsel.
About the Role:
As a Capital One Technology counsel, you will have an opportunity to directly influence how Capital One adopts, develops, and leverages technology platforms and products, while navigating a rapidly changing set of laws and regulations. You will advise teams that are designing and building AI-driven platforms that will power how Capital One works, helping them innovate in a way that is legally supported and well-managed. You will support the business in identifying, assessing, and addressing technology-related regulatory obligations, and you will actively partner with Capital One's technology, product, design, risk, and compliance organizations to brainstorm and problem-solve in ways that anticipate and mitigate legal, operational, and reputational risk. Because our work is increasingly interdisciplinary, it requires an entrepreneurial approach ... and this is what makes it fun. Your legal advice and strategic counsel will be informed by active collaboration with stakeholders from across the enterprise, and you'll do it in an environment that values your insight, promotes continuous learning, and rewards creative thinking.
To succeed in this role:
- You are someone who craves meaning in your work, and are eager to drive solutions that reduce risk to our company.
- You are an engagement multiplier who is both pragmatic and practical. You view your role as not only a lawyer, but as a trusted business advisor who enables your clients to achieve core objectives in a way that is legally supported and well-managed.
- You are a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment, exercising judgment and discretion as you prioritize (and sometimes reprioritize) myriad time-sensitive matters.
- You are comfortable being uncomfortable. You're not afraid to lean into gray space when situations are unfamiliar, digging in to understand and focus on what really matters.
- You are an effective translator. You can communicate regulatory requirements and legal guardrails to technologists and engineers just as easily as you can deconstruct complex technical and regulatory subjects in a way that other lawyers can understand and appreciate.
- You bring an ownership mentality to your work. You want to be in the trenches with your clients, and will not hesitate to pull in legal colleagues to ensure that your clients reap the full benefit of our amazing legal department's experience and expertise.
- You see around corners. You anticipate legal and business risks before they materialize, and you help your clients get ahead of issues rather than react to them.
- You are a thought partner to the business. You bring strategic, creative thinking to the table, not just legal analysis, and you help shape solutions rather than simply flag problems.
- You thrive on relationship building. You invest in genuine, trust-based relationships with your clients and colleagues, and you view those relationships as core to being an effective advisor.
Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Legal counsel to the enterprise technology organization and leadership, including teams designing and building AI-driven platforms and capabilities that power how Capital One works.
- Advise on the legal and regulatory considerations associated with the development, deployment, and governance of AI-driven and other emerging technology platforms.
- Monitor, interpret, and advise on emerging technology-related laws, regulations, and regulatory guidance (e.g., banking regulator guidance on AI, cloud, and third-party technology risk), translating requirements into actionable guidance for business and technology partners.
- Guide and provide ongoing counsel in connection with regulatory exams, inquiries, and audits touching technology, ensuring accurate, complete, and well-supported responses.
- Review of board reports, executive committee presentations, regulatory filings, and other legal disclosures to ensure accuracy and completeness of technology representations.
- Provide advice on strategic technology contracts and vendor relationships, including regulatory considerations related to third-party, cloud, and AI risk.
- Serve as a critical partner to technology operations, product, design, technology risk management, and compliance professionals in their collective efforts to develop, build, and maintain platforms that support our enterprise operations.
- Maintain strong relationships and lines of communication with business partners, regulators, and other key stakeholders across the organization.
Basic Qualifications:
- Juris Doctor from an accredited law school
- Active member in good standing of at least one state bar
- At least seven (7) years of experience as an attorney in a law firm, in-house legal department, or government agency
Preferred Qualifications:
- 5+ years of legal experience supporting a technology, information security, or regulatory function
- Knowledge of technology, especially cloud, generative AI, and networking
- Experience advising on the design, development, or governance of AI-driven platforms or products
- Experience advising on regulatory examinations, inquiries, or supervisory engagement
- Experience with U.S. technology and cybersecurity laws and regulations (e.g., Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act) and general familiarity with global technology and cybersecurity laws, regulations, and standards
- Knowledge of federal and state privacy laws
- Knowledge of U.S. technology standards, frameworks, risk assessments, and certification processes (e.g., SOC 1 & 2, NIST Cybersecurity Framework)
- Previous experience in the financial industry a plus, but not required

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Director General
Align your credentials with EB-2 requirements
EB-2 covers advanced-degree professionals, so verify your master's degree or bachelor's plus five years of progressive leadership experience is documented in official transcripts and employment letters before approaching any sponsor.
Target organizations with PERM filing history
Use Migrate Mate to search for employers who have filed PERM applications for senior executive or Director General-level roles, so you approach organizations already familiar with the sponsorship process rather than educating them from scratch.
Check prevailing wages before salary negotiations
Run your target metropolitan area and SOC code through the OFLC Wage Search to find the prevailing wage before you negotiate. Your employer must pay at or above that figure for PERM certification, so knowing it early prevents offers that collapse at the DOL stage.
Understand PERM recruitment constraints for executive roles
PERM requires the employer to conduct a genuine recruitment test proving no qualified U.S. workers are available. For Director General positions, that includes journal ads and internal postings, so expect a minimum 60-day recruitment period before the application can be filed with DOL.
Account for priority date backlogs in your planning
EB-2 has per-country annual limits, and nationals of high-demand countries can face significant priority date backlogs. File your I-485 or track your consular processing timeline relative to your country's current cutoff date in the monthly Visa Bulletin.
Secure AC21 portability before changing employers
If your I-485 has been pending at least 180 days and your I-140 was approved, AC21 portability lets you move to a new Director General role in the same or similar occupation without losing your place in the queue. Confirm the occupational classification matches before accepting any new offer.
Green Card Director General: Frequently Asked Questions
What green card category applies to Director General roles?
Most Director General positions qualify under EB-2, which covers advanced-degree professionals or candidates with a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience in senior management. Some roles may qualify under EB-3 if the employer structures the position as a professional role requiring at least a bachelor's degree. Your employer's immigration counsel will determine the correct category based on the job description.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for a Director General?
H-1B visa provides temporary status for up to six years and requires an LCA filed with DOL. Green card sponsorship through EB-2 or EB-3 leads to permanent residence and uses PERM labor certification instead, which involves a formal recruitment test, a prevailing wage determination, and a DOL filing before the I-140 petition can be filed with USCIS. The process is longer but the outcome is permanent.
How long does the PERM process take for executive-level roles?
PERM requires a recruitment period of at least 60 days followed by a DOL review period that can extend several months or longer depending on whether the application is selected for audit. Priority date backlogs then apply before you can file for adjustment of status or consular processing. Nationals of high-demand countries should monitor the monthly Visa Bulletin for their category's cutoff date.
How do I find employers who sponsor green cards for Director General positions?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified PERM and EB-2 or EB-3 filing history, so you can focus your search on organizations that have already navigated the sponsorship process for senior roles. That track record matters because PERM for a Director General requires the employer to manage a formal DOL recruitment test, a step many smaller organizations haven't handled before.
Can I change employers after my green card application is filed?
Yes, under AC21 portability, once your I-485 has been pending for 180 days or more and your I-140 was approved, you can move to a new employer in the same or similar occupation without losing your priority date. For Director General roles, the new position's SOC code should closely match the original to satisfy the same-or-similar occupational standard that USCIS applies.
