About the role
We’re looking for a Legal Intern to join Ramp’s Product Legal team in Summer 2026 in NYC. You will support complex, cross-functional projects across our financial products, bank partnerships, marketing programs, and emerging technology initiatives. You’ll gain hands-on exposure to how a modern fintech operates, and you’ll support legal review, research, drafting, and the operational processes required to ship products responsibly. You will embed with the business and work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Security, and other teams to provide practical, clear advice throughout the product lifecycle.
Our ideal candidate is genuinely interested in fintech, comfortable working with non-lawyers, and willing to dig into new areas of law, regulation, and technology. You should be excited to work hard, learn quickly, and handle everything from substantive research to operational execution.
What you’ll do
Conduct legal research on product, regulatory, and licensing issues (e.g., card issuing, payments, lending, privacy, AML, international expansion).
Assist in drafting and updating customer-facing terms, product disclosures, rewards terms, and internal guidance.
Support product counseling by reviewing specs, user flows, and go-to-market plans and summarizing legal and regulatory risk for Product, Engineering, and Design.
Review marketing collateral, lifecycle communications, and incentive campaigns for compliance, partner-bank alignment, and policy adherence.
Help prepare responses to partner bank and vendor diligence requests and maintain compliance checklists, reporting trackers, and our terms repository.
Participate in cross-functional projects by synthesizing legal requirements, preparing briefs, and supporting operational processes (e.g., escalations, takedowns, SOPs).
Provide legal research and analysis for licensing requirements (e.g., money transmission, lending, servicing/collections), privacy issues, and international expansion.
What you need
Current 1L or 2L law student; strong academic performance.
Available for a 2–3 month summer internship in NYC.
High degree of intellectual curiosity and willingness to roll up your sleeves; ability to work independently and take ownership of projects.
Strong research, writing, and communication skills and the ability to explain complex issues clearly.
Ability and willingness to understand how AI impacts Ramp’s products, legal workflows, and risk profile, and to use AI tools (including internal tools) to support research, drafting, and operational efficiency.

Demonstrated interest in startups, fintech, financial regulation, or technology law.
