Employment & Labor Counsel

This role advises on employment law matters across a rapidly growing, globally distributed AI company, handling everything from hiring and termination to international workforce expansion and complex cross-border employment issues. Unlike purely operational People roles, Employment & Labor Counsel provides strategic legal guidance on compliance, litigation, and policy while partnering closely with People teams to balance legal risk with business velocity. The role sits within the legal function but acts as a bridge between legal strategy and People operations, often managing external counsel, building scalable frameworks, and supporting high-stakes matters like restructurings and international market entries. It typically requires 6-8+ years of employment law experience, including multinational company exposure and expertise in multiple jurisdictions, particularly EU and US employment regulations.
