We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company.

You'll spend time on the following:

• Provide legal advice and counsel on a wide range of employment matters, including employment contracts, workplace policies, EMEA trade unions/works councils, privacy issues, performance management, internal investigation, disciplinary actions, and terminations.

• Maintain and support Groupon's Global compliance hotline and investigate and respond to any issues raised.
• Manage and oversee employment litigation.
• Conduct legal research to stay up-to-date on Employment and Compliance laws and regulations in various jurisdictions and ensure compliance.
• Update and maintain Employment and Compliance policies.

We're excited if you have:

• 3+ years experience handling Employment and Compliance related legal issues and litigation and providing advice concerning the same including within the EMEA jurisdiction. Privacy experience is a plus but not required.
• Experience working with, or advising clients with respect to, trade unions and/or works councils within EMEA.
