About the Role:

We are looking for an experienced Senior Legal Counsel to become one of the most senior members of our Employment Legal team.

This is not a traditional in-house legal role.

You will advise on some of the most challenging cross-border employment matters across more than 100 jurisdictions, partnering closely with Operations, Payroll, Mobility, Compliance, Sales and Product to enable our global growth while managing legal risk.

You will lead complex employment law matters, negotiate commercial agreements, mentor junior legal professionals and help build scalable legal processes that support one of the fastest-growing EOR platforms in the market.

If you enjoy solving complex international employment challenges, making commercial decisions under pressure and working in a high-growth technology company, we'd love to hear from you.

What you’ll do

Lead Global Employment Law Advisory

  • Advise internal stakeholders on complex employment law matters across the EMEA region.
  • Provide practical, commercially focused guidance throughout the employee lifecycle, including hiring, onboarding, disciplinary processes, performance management, restructurings, redundancies, terminations, employee transfers and post-employment obligations.
  • Support high-risk employee relations matters and litigation strategy with external counsel.

Own Legal Risk Across Multiple Jurisdictions

  • Assess legal risks relating to international hiring, Employer of Record operations, immigration, benefits and workforce mobility.
  • Partner with local counsel worldwide to deliver accurate and pragmatic legal advice.
  • Develop risk mitigation strategies while balancing commercial objectives.

Legal Leadership

  • Mentor and support Legal Specialists, Legal Associates and Legal counsels.
  • Review complex legal advice before it is delivered externally.
  • Help establish best practices, legal playbooks and quality standards across the legal function.
  • Act as an escalation point for sensitive or business-critical legal matters.

Build Scalable Legal Operations

  • Design templates, automation and legal workflows that improve efficiency without compromising quality.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to translate legal requirements into scalable platform functionality.
  • Drive continuous improvement across legal processes.

Privacy & Compliance

  • Advise on GDPR and privacy matters affecting employees, contractors and customers.
  • Support internal compliance initiatives, audits and regulatory requirements.

Requirements

We're particularly interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following industries:

  • Employer of Record (EOR)
  • Global Employment
  • HR Technology
  • Workforce Management
  • Staffing
  • Employment Law firms with multinational clients

You should demonstrate:

  • Deep expertise in European employment law.
  • Strong understanding of cross-border workforce compliance.
  • Extensive experience handling complex employee lifecycle matters.
  • Experience negotiating sophisticated commercial agreements.
  • Practical knowledge of GDPR and employment-related privacy issues.
  • Experience working with external counsel across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Previous experience mentoring or leading legal professionals.
  • Experience supporting fast-growing international businesses.

Legal Education:

  • Law Degree (LLB/JD) from a recognized university.
  • Bar membership or qualification in at least one European jurisdiction.

What makes you successful

We're looking for someone who:

  • Thinks commercially without compromising legal integrity.
  • Can simplify complex legal issues for non-lawyers.
  • Makes sound decisions in ambiguous situations.
  • Builds trust with senior stakeholders.
  • Enjoys solving difficult cross-border legal problems.
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • Takes ownership and drives initiatives independently.
  • Is comfortable balancing legal risk with business priorities.

Language Proficiency:

  • Fluency in English is required.
  • Proficiency in another European language (e.g., French, Spanish, German) is a serious plus.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
