Current is a consumer fintech platform with over six million members, providing financial solutions to help everyday Americans build better financial futures. The company is based in New York and operates in a results-driven environment.
You will serve as the operational backbone of Current's Legal and Compliance function. This role combines legal process management, administrative support, and technology-driven workflow optimization.
Key responsibilities include:
**Legal Process Management:** You will be the primary intake point for all legal and other process served on Current, including bank account garnishments, levies, subpoenas, bankruptcy notifications, and account verifications. You will 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 court-mandated deadlines. You will prepare customer notices, responses to issuing parties, and certifications as required, and escalate contested or high-exposure matters to attorneys with clear summaries and recommendations. You will maintain complete, audit-ready records of every legal process item received, actions taken, and dates, and produce periodic reporting on volume, turnaround times, and exceptions. You will also draft and maintain written procedures for legal process handling.
**Legal Administration and Attorney Support:** You will manage the Legal team's document management system, contract repository, and matter tracker, ensuring executed agreements, corporate records, and regulatory correspondence are filed, indexed, and retrievable. You will assist with litigation and regulatory inquiry support, including document collection and fact investigation. You will work with attorneys to assist in reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts—including NDAs, DPAs, vendor agreements, and more—to ensure deals are negotiated and executed in accordance with business timelines.
**Legal and Compliance Operations, Technology, and AI-Enabled Workflows:** You will identify repetitive, high-volume legal, compliance, and administrative tasks and design workflows that use AI and automation tools to reduce manual effort while preserving accuracy and appropriate attorney oversight. You will deploy and administer AI-assisted tools for tasks such as first-pass review and data extraction from legal process. You will partner with Compliance, InfoSec, and Engineering to evaluate new legal technology and AI vendors.
This role is ideal for someone meticulous about deadlines and documentation, energized by using technology to make legal work faster and more consistent, and able to identify repetitive work and evaluate whether AI or automation can do it better.
**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; knowing 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
- Preferred: Experience at a consumer fintech, neobank, or sponsor-bank program manager, particularly with debit or secured credit card products
- Preferred: Familiarity with Reg E, Reg Z, the FCRA, and state garnishment and exemption laws as they apply to deposit accounts
