Assistant General Counsel

Genworth Financial•Raleigh, NC

23h•Hybrid

About The Position

This role is a strong opportunity for an attorney who wants to build a broad in-house legal foundation, gain hands-on experience with regulatory, transactional, and compliance matters, and provide legal advice to support business decisions in a collaborative environment. You will work closely with legal colleagues who will offer practical guidance, feedback, and opportunities for you to take increasing ownership. You will learn how an in-house legal team supports a publicly-traded company and contribute to work that has a direct connection to Enact’s mission of helping more people achieve and sustain homeownership. As part of our legal team, you will do varied, meaningful work from the start: negotiating agreements, researching legal and regulatory issues, supporting audits, and advising on business projects. No two days will look exactly the same. You will be encouraged to ask questions and take on increasing responsibility as your skills grow. We welcome applicants who are curious, business-minded, and eager to become trusted legal advisors at Enact.
