Our remote-first team spans across the world, helping companies hire, onboard, and manage talent internationally through smart, flexible workforce solutions. Fast-paced, people-driven, and globally connected — we empower businesses to build teams without borders.
More Than a Role
We don’t just need a Legal Counsel — we need a hands-on legal project manager who partners with our business and solves problems on a daily basis. We’re looking for someone who gets their energy from dealing with employment law matters in many different jurisdictions, while keeping a sharp, analytical focus on how their work delivers real business impact.
This isn’t a role for someone who wants to stay in their lane. You’ll be at the center of it all - dealing directly with many different teams like Operations or Sales - ensuring everything you touch is high-quality and customer-centric and aligned with our wider goals.
You won’t be a solo operator. You’ll collaborate with our internal stakeholders, i.e. all internal departments, and external partners such as local payroll providers and law firms in different countries, bringing everything together to ensure consistency, impact, and momentum across the board.
Where Responsibility Meets Real Opportunity:
Your main responsibilities are:
Resolve employment law matters of all sorts in different countries
Support our internal units and departments where their knowledge ends
Help the organization grow and build new business around the Globe
Make sure everything we do stays compliant with local laws
