About the role

We are also reaching a scale where we need a strong leader to prevent and, when necessary, resolve the wide range of disputes that are likely to arise.
This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit back and issue-spot.

Design and deliver practical employment-law training for managers and people teams, from manager onboarding to targeted sessions on high-risk areas like terminations, accommodations, and investigations.
Run periodic audits of employment policies and practices to identify areas of risk before they develop into bigger problems.
Own Solace's full range of issues, disputes, and litigation from end-to-end including demand letters, subpoenas, agency requests, and everything that follows.
Manage outside counsel relationships and litigation budgets across all active matters, ensuring consistent strategy and cost discipline.
Build a dispute-prevention infrastructure-arbitration agreements, class-action waivers, and exit and severance protocols-designed to keep disputes out of litigation.
Partner with HR and business leaders to spot early warning signs across complaints, investigations, and exits, and drive corrective action before claims are filed.

Pragmatic instincts with the ability to weigh risk against velocity and land on real answers, not hedges.
Track record managing outside counsel and litigation budgets across a distributed, multi-state workforce.
Applicants must be based in the United States.
JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing.
Experience building policy from scratch rather than simply enforcing what already exists.
Healthcare, marketplace, or other regulated-industry experience is a plus, not a requirement.
Up for the Challenge?
We look forward to meeting you.
