Responsibilities

Advise the Personal Auto business. You'll be the point person for legal matters across the product operation — insurance product design, pricing, underwriting, forms, telematics, and state management operations. Much of this work involves novel questions in a fast-evolving regulatory landscape, and you'll be expected to bring original thinking rather than precedent alone.
Represent the company in complex matters. You'll advise on substantial legal and business transactions requiring insurance product and regulatory expertise, including matters involving adverse parties and partners. You'll conduct deep research in your areas of specialization and direct and refine the work of others.
Lead and grow the team. You'll manage goals, capacity, performance, and development for your direct reports, building the team's depth in a highly specialized practice and coordinating closely with other Legal managers.
Improve how the team works. You'll strengthen knowledge sharing, documentation, and the team's use of tools and technology so legal support scales with the business.
