Legal Associate

Job Description

The POWER of a CAREER!

At Northpointe Bank, we believe a career should do more than pay the bills — it should empower you to grow, make a difference, and find purpose in your work.

We’re looking for a skilled and proactive Legal Associate to join our Legal team and provide critical guidance across our organization. In this role, you'll engage in a dynamic legal environment—ensuring compliance, managing risk, shaping policies, and negotiating contracts that support our banking and financial services.

This is more than just a legal role — it’s an opportunity to be a trusted advisor, a guardian of regulatory integrity, and a collaborative partner to departments across the bank.

What You’ll Do

• Provide legal counsel on matters related to consumer financial services, data privacy, lending, and regulatory compliance

• Draft, review, and negotiate a wide variety of legal agreements: vendor contracts, servicing and loan agreements, NDAs, software licenses, and more

• Monitor changes in laws such as GLBA, FCRA, RESPA, and UDAAP, and ensure ongoing compliance

• Assist in responding to legal demands (e.g., subpoenas, garnishments, levies)

• Oversee litigation management and coordinate with outside counsel

• Support corporate governance through filings, board materials, and policy development

• Advise on third-party risk, privacy compliance, and assist in vendor due diligence and audit response

• Collaborate with departments across the bank to provide timely, actionable legal guidance

What You Bring

• Juris Doctor (JD) from an ABA-accredited law school

• Active license to practice law in at least one U.S. state

• 3+ years of legal experience in a law firm or in-house legal department

• Expertise in consumer financial services, lending laws, and privacy regulations (e.g., GLBA, CCPA/CPRA)

• Experience with contract negotiation and third-party risk management

• Ability to work cross-functionally and manage complex legal issues in a business-focused way

• Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; contract or legal management software a plus

We offer competitive benefits, meaningful development opportunities, and a chance to contribute to the strategic direction of the bank.
