Liaise with and assist in the management of outside counsel.
Collaborate on conducting trainings on employment law and related matters in conjunction with the Talent & Culture department.
Essential Qualifications:
JD from an accredited law school and authorized to practice law in the State of California (either as an active member of the California Bar or by qualifying as in-house registered counsel).
3+ years of legal experience, including significant employment law experience, either in private practice or as in-house counsel.
Ability to excel in a fast-paced, multitasking environment that demands high-quality work on short deadlines.
Ability to identify and implement practical solutions to abstract or complex problems.
