📋 Description

• Provide pragmatic employment advice and manage litigation matters across the organization.
• Give real-time, practical advice to people leaders and executives.
• Directly oversee our litigation docket and build employment policies that scale with a company adding headcount every month.
• Design and deliver practical employment-law training for managers and people teams.
• Work with functional leaders to build and maintain the employment policies and programs that let Solace scale.
• Draft employment agreements, offer letters, separation agreements, and the templates recruiting and people teams use every day.
• Run periodic audits of employment policies and practices to identify areas of risk before they develop into bigger problems.
• Track employment law changes and enforcement trends across states, and translate what matters to the people who need to act on it.
• Own Solace’s full range of issues, disputes, and litigation from end-to-end.
• Manage outside counsel relationships and litigation budgets across all active matters.
• Build a dispute-prevention infrastructure–arbitration agreements, class-action waivers, and exit and severance protocols–designed to keep disputes out of litigation.
• Partner with HR and business leaders to spot early warning signs across complaints, investigations, and exits, and drive corrective action before claims are filed.

🎯 Requirements

• JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing.
• 9-12+ years of employment and litigation experience, with in-house experience being strongly preferred.
• Pragmatic instincts with the ability to weigh risk against velocity and land on real answers, not hedges.
