Working closely with Legal, People and business leaders around the world, you will play a key role in supporting the company's evolving workforce strategy and global operations.

As a trusted advisor to the business, you will provide commercially focused employment law support across a wide range of matters, including:
- Complex employee relations issues, investigations and workplace disputes.
- Organisational change projects, restructurings and workforce transformations.
- Cross-border employment law matters across EMEA, APAC and the Americas.
- Employment aspects of strategic business initiatives, growth projects and corporate transactions.
- Development and implementation of employment policies, governance frameworks and best practices.
- Managing employment-related litigation, regulatory issues and external counsel relationships.
- Supporting senior stakeholders in balancing legal risk with commercial objectives.
Candidate Profile
We are interested in speaking with high-calibre employment lawyers who possess:
- Strong employment law experience gained at a leading international law firm.
- Excellent technical expertise combined with sound commercial judgement.
- Experience advising multinational clients on complex employment matters.
- Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills.
- The ability to operate confidently in a fast-moving and evolving environment.
- A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach and a genuine interest in partnering with the business.
