- You will be responsible for monitoring and adapting to evolving regulatory requirements, will work closely with cross-functional teams to advise on legal considerations, and will also help manage disputes and regulatory requests.
- Serve as primarily legal partner for Bluevine’s banking services, lending and payments products to provide prompt and strategic legal advice to cross-functional teams, including Product, Marketing, Finance, Sales, Business Development, and Operations

Our take
Founded in 2013, BlueVine offers a suite of banking services for small and medium businesses (SMBs). BlueVine began as a small business lender, and have since expanded into a small business banking service in late 2020.
Having already loaned billions of dollars with tens of thousands of active customers, BlueVine aims to be the largest bank in the United States for small businesses. While there are over 4,000 banks in the US which are theoretically rivals in this ambition, few of them target the SME market or provide a comprehensive range of financial services to meet their needs.
In 2021 BlueVine appointed Steve Allocca (PayPal, LendingClub, Wells Fargo) as COO. As a small business owner himself, and having worked on SMB-oriented projects at PayPal, his appointment is a smart move as BlueVine moves to net the flurry of new SMBs opening. The company is currently focused on developing its financing products and increasing the range of services available to its customers.
