What they're looking for
- Have around 7+ years of employment law experience or more, in house or at a law firm, including strong US employment litigation experience running matters through agencies and the courts and directing external counsel
- Employment generalist who is comfortable with the grey. Where the law is unsettled you give a clear recommendation, explain the risk you are accepting, and own the call
- Have an in-house mindset. You tie your advice to a business objective and you know the difference between a real risk and a theoretical one
- Can work autonomously and run things like your own business. You are comfortable being the only employment lawyer in region and building from there
- Take a global approach and do not assume any one jurisdiction is the default. You collaborate easily with legal and HR colleagues across the US, LATAM, EMEA and APAC
- Exercise discretion and sound judgment on sensitive and confidential matters, and you can structure and prioritize your work in a high volume, fast-paced environment
