- Global Benefits programs including sick and time-off policies, employee benefits, 401(k) support, and leaves of absence and reasonable accommodations;
- M&A support;
- Compliance with statutory and regulatory employment laws, including employment-related privacy considerations, pay equity, recruiting, performance management, compensation, employee separations, and background checks.
- Support the VP of Employment Legal on global compliance programs and policy development, and supporting globally cohesive employment legal support for the P&C organization.
- Support VP of Employment Legal on legal team process, data, and systems management.
- Draft and review employment-related policies, procedures, and support P&C teams, including Employee Relations, on necessary guidance, policy, and process documents.
- Manage employment related disputes and litigation, regulatory and government administrative proceedings, including managing outside counsel; also advise Employee Relations on employee complaint / hotline investigation matters, employee discipline, and other workplace concern investigations.
What We're Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
- 5 years of employment legal experience.
- JD degree. Admitted to the bar and in good standing or otherwise authorized to practice law (e.g., have registered in-house status) in the state in which the position is located.
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
- In-house experience. Experience with large multinational employers (Americas, EMEA, APJ / India).
- Experience with M&A support, employee benefits experience, 401(k) advice, and contingent workforce risk assessment are a major plus.
