As Employment & Compliance Counsel, you will serve as the primary legal advisor to the People Team on all aspects of employment law, including hiring, performance management, terminations, and sensitive employee matters.

In addition to employment counseling, you will provide broad legal support across the business, including regulatory investigations, privacy and information security matters, litigation support, and contract review.
