Remote Ireland; Remote, United Kingdom
Our take: The real work here is giving senior, practical employment-law advice across EMEA and building the processes that let a globally distributed company handle risk consistently.
If you like being the calm, senior voice people turn to when the employment question is genuinely hard, this is that seat. You will own complex EMEA matters end to end, from a tricky works council situation to a separation agreement to a tribunal, while building the playbooks that make the next hundred cases easier. It suits someone who reads risk quickly, gives plain practical advice, and enjoys doing all of it remotely with a globally distributed team.
