Description:

The Role:
As Employment Counsel, you'll join A Public American Software Company's in-house legal team with a critical role on the global employment law team. This is an excellent opportunity for an employment lawyer who is still relatively new in their career to pivot to in-house work or transition from another in-house role to A Public American Software Company, a place where we deeply value thoughtful people, hard work, a sense of humor and low ego.

In this role, you will work with our employment lawyers, the People Team, and others across the business to help solve a variety of interesting employment law related challenges. You will advise People Partners as they navigate difficult employee situations, and you will coordinate closely with the Litigation Team if those situations escalate. You will be a key contributor to our employment compliance program, which includes our annual AAPs and other audits. You will interact directly with our Company leadership on strategic projects and contribute to a wide array of employment law matters.

Core Responsibilities:

Provide day-to-day advice and counseling to the People and Recruiting Teams and the business on a range of employment-law related issues such as performance management and terminations, leaves of absence / accommodations, and investigating claims, among other areas, focused on the US but also including Canada and potentially LATAM jurisdictions.
Provide support, in consultation with the Litigation Team, on employment-law related claims and litigation.
Help with OFCCP and pay data reporting obligations in the US, in collaboration with the Compliance, Finance and People Teams.
Deliver employment-law related trainings, focused on anti-harassment, anti-discrimination and elimination of bias.
Provide support to Sales Operations in review and drafting of incentive compensation plans and policies.
Supervise and advise on internal investigations in consultation with People Partners and Employee Relations.
Stay apprised of changes in the law and ensure contracts and policies in multiple jurisdictions are updated accordingly.

What we value:

Experience working with US Federal Contractors and advising on global employment law issues.
Resourcefulness and the ability to solve problems, including non-traditional or undefined problems, creatively and analytically.
Ability to communicate prioritization and deadlines with internal and external stakeholders, and build constructive, high-trust relationships across teams and functions.
Sound judgment and composure in high-pressure situations; display discretion and integrity in all interactions.

What We Require:

JD and bar admission in the applicable state of employment.
3+ years' experience as an employment attorney at a top firm or in-house (a combination is even better!)
Knowledge of and experience with US employment laws, counseling, and investigations.
Initially 4 days per week in-office which can be reduced to 2-3 days longer term.
