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 H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Director General
Frame your credentials around specialty occupation
Compile transcripts, job descriptions from prior roles, and any professional licenses that tie your advanced degree directly to Director General-level policy, administrative, or international relations duties. USCIS scrutinizes executive titles closely, so the degree-to-role link must be explicit in every document.
Look up prevailing wages before negotiating offers
Use the OFLC Wage Search to find the wage level your employer must certify for your SOC code and work location. Directors General often fall under wage Level IV, and knowing that number before negotiations prevents an employer from certifying a lower tier that could invite a DOL audit.
Target organizations with established LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to identify employers who have already certified Labor Condition Applications for senior executive or director-level H-1B roles. Organizations with active LCA history understand the filing timeline and are less likely to withdraw an offer due to process unfamiliarity.
Clarify multi-site scope before the LCA is filed
Director General roles frequently involve oversight across multiple offices or program sites. Each worksite requires its own certified LCA before work begins there. Raise this with your employer's immigration counsel during offer negotiation, not after the initial LCA is already filed.
Request premium processing when your start date is firm
If your offer letter specifies an executive onboarding date, ask your employer to file Form I-907 for premium processing with USCIS. This compresses the adjudication window and gives you a defined timeline to plan international relocations or internal transitions around.
Verify your O*NET classification before the I-129 is drafted
Director General maps to multiple Standard Occupational Classification codes depending on sector. Pull your role's O*NET profile and confirm your employer's immigration attorney is using the code that best reflects your actual duties, since misclassification can trigger a Request for Evidence from USCIS.
H-1B Visa Director General: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Director General role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as public administration, international relations, law, or business management. USCIS evaluates the specific duties rather than the title alone, so the employer's job description must clearly tie the degree requirement to the analytical, policy, or administrative functions the role performs at a director-level.
How do I find employers actively sponsoring H-1B visas for Director General positions?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified H-1B Labor Condition Application filing history, searchable by role and location. This lets you focus your applications on organizations that have already navigated the sponsorship process for senior leadership roles, rather than approaching employers who may be unfamiliar with executive-level H-1B filings.
Can my H-1B cover Director General duties across multiple offices or program sites?
Not automatically. Each distinct worksite where you perform H-1B duties requires a separately certified Labor Condition Application filed with DOL. If your Director General role involves regular work at branch offices, regional headquarters, or program sites beyond your primary location, your employer must certify additional LCAs before you begin work at each location.
How long does H-1B status last for a Director General, and can it be extended?
H-1B status is granted for up to three years initially and can be extended to a six-year maximum under standard rules. If your employer files an employment-based green card petition on your behalf and it reaches certain milestones, extensions beyond six years may be available under AC21 provisions, but those extensions are not automatic and depend on petition timing.
What documentation should I expect my employer to request when sponsoring an H-1B for a Director General role?
Your employer will typically need your academic transcripts, a detailed job description specifying degree-level duties, and evidence that the position requires a specific field of study rather than any bachelor's degree. Because executive titles receive additional USCIS scrutiny, some employers also request organizational charts and documentation of your reporting structure to support the specialty occupation determination.
