The Challenge
Reporting directly to Company’s Senior Director, Assistant General Counsel, Global Labor & Employment, you will provide advice and counseling to the People team on employment relations matters across the EMEA region (and occasionally elsewhere) to ensure prompt and thorough follow-through, and advise on issues relating to recruiting, diversity and inclusion, performance management, leaves of absence and accommodations, internal investigations, compensation and benefits, contingent workers, and immigration. Strong advisory and project management skills, along with excellent business judgment and the ability to effectively partner and collaborate with business groups throughout OneTrust, will be among the key factors to your success. The issues you will have to address will require real-time analysis and practical advice. You must be able to work under significant pressure and maintain a sense of patience, camaraderie, and respect.
