  • Provide legal advice regarding Fannie Mae's mortgage-backed securities programs and related disclosure obligations, including offering and disclosure documents, ongoing and event-driven disclosures and investor communications, and investor relations matters relating to securitization activities.
  • Advise Fannie Mae in connection with its derivatives and similar financial instruments used in structured finance or capital markets activities.
  • Counsel business and policy partners on complex or evolving securitization and servicing matters, assessing legal and regulatory risks and developing practical solutions that support business objectives.
  • Partner closely with Capital Markets and other legal, business, operations, policy, risk, and servicing stakeholders on transaction structures, policy initiatives, and evolving market or regulatory requirements.
  • Build effective relationships with sophisticated business clients and serve as a trusted legal advisor, applying sound legal and business judgment and translating complex legal and regulatory requirements into practical guidance.
  • Collaborate with attorneys across multiple legal disciplines and, as appropriate, with outside counsel on matters of significance to the company.

  • Understanding of the cash-flow mechanics of underlying mortgage products and their relevance to mortgage securitization and servicing.
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze complex legal and business issues, exercise sound judgment, and develop effective relationships with sophisticated business clients and multidisciplinary teams.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
