Remote Sound Designer Jobs in Hackensack, NJ (NOW HIRING)

Legal at Brex

The Legal team helps the company grow responsibly, advocating for Brex and for the thousands of growing businesses we serve. We provide strategic advice and guidance to all Brex teams, protect Brex, advise on risk, and represent the company externally, negotiating with partners and interacting with regulators. Reimagining the financial system in a highly regulated environment requires creativity and resourcefulness, and we welcome the challenge.

What you'll do

You will help us build, globally scale, and continuously improve our bill pay product and adjacent payments offerings. You'll be a subject matter expert on money transmission and payments regulation, providing strategic advice on risk and regulatory ambiguity as we ship new features. Embedded with engineering, design, and product, you'll partner from the earliest stages of ideation through launch-translating complex regulatory requirements into practical product decisions and helping the team move fast without compromising on compliance. You'll also collaborate closely with cross-functional partners (including compliance, risk, marketing, sales, partnerships, and bank and payments-network relationships) to find creative solutions to business problems. You know how to break a project down into first principles and see it from concept to release, and you understand when to solve a problem in-house versus when to strategically and cost-effectively deploy outside counsel.

Where you'll work

This role will be based in our New York City office. We are a hybrid environment that combines the energy and connections of being in the office with the benefits and flexibility of working from home. We currently require a minimum of three coordinated days in the office per week, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. As a perk, we also have up to four weeks per year of fully remote work!

• Advise a variety of cross-functional partners on critical money transmission and payments regulatory questions
• Track and analyze US state and federal money transmission laws, along with relevant international payments regulations, and help Brex stay ahead of regulatory change affecting bill pay
• Advise on product and marketing collateral, customer communications, and disclosures for bill pay and payments products
• Draft, update, and maintain customer agreements, terms, and disclosures for bill pay and money movement products
• Support licensing, bank partner, and payments-network requirements as they relate to product launches

Requirements

• 4+ years working experience in a combination of law firms and fintech companies, ideally advising on money transmission, payments, and money movement matters for regulated financial products
• Familiarity with federal, state, and international money transmission and payments laws and regulations, including state money transmitter licensing, the Bank Secrecy Act/AML requirements, EFTA/Regulation E, NACHA operating rules, and required disclosures

• Ownership mentality and comfort working on complex matters that require sound judgment
• Entrepreneurial mindset and ability to work in a fast-paced environment
• Law degree and admitted to practice in at least one jurisdiction
• Willingness to be a team player who pitches in to help out on other products and topics; one of our key tenets is "One Brex"

Bonus Points

• Prior in-house counsel experience at a scaling fintech, payments, or money movement company
• Experience negotiating with or managing bank partner and payments-network relationships
• Experience interacting directly with regulatory agencies
