Remote Ireland; Remote, United Kingdom
Our take: The real work here is owning GitLab's EMEA employment matters end to end, from works council negotiations and labor courts to building the scalable legal processes an all-remote company depends on.
This is a role for an employment lawyer who wants to own the whole relationship, from hiring through separation and litigation, across EMEA jurisdictions without a team to manage but with real authority to set strategy. You will negotiate directly with works councils, stand up in labor courts or steer the counsel who do, and build the scalable playbooks that make an all-remote company work. If you love being the trusted voice people come to on the hardest, most sensitive matters, this fits.
