Assistant General Counsel - Home Lending, Vice President

Join the Legal team advising an industry-leading Home Lending business at one of the world's largest and most innovative banks.

This rare opportunity offers the best of both worlds: you'll be part of a world-class legal department while directly supporting mortgage loan originations.

You'll also have meaningful influence on mortgage and housing policy, with a front-row view into where mortgage law, title, and technology are headed.

As Counsel in the Home Lending Originations Legal Department, you will become a trusted mortgage banking lawyer and subject-matter expert on the federal and state law questions that touch every loan the firm originates.

You will independently deliver product-level legal implementation support (requirements, documentation, controls) and loan-level problem-solving (issue spotting, escalation resolution), providing clear and consistent guidance while partnering with Product, Risk, Controls and Compliance to drive legally sound, operationally practical, customer-centric outcomes.

You will also counsel the business on new initiatives and new technologies, translating legal requirements into a practical framework that enables the Business to move from requirements through all stages of implementation through launch and beyond.

This role also carries a deep specialty in closing, title and funding, where some of the hardest and most interesting issues in residential real estate finance live.

Beyond the day-to-day work, you will have the opportunity to engage on industry developments and emerging policy - the kinds of federal, state law, GSE, and regulatory shifts that shape how America acquires and finances homes.

In this role you will have a voice in the direction of the business in the US residential housing market.
