Own end-to-end management of employment litigation, arbitration, and administrative proceedings (EEOC, state fair employment agencies, DOL, NLRB, and international equivalents), from intake through resolution
Lead workplace investigations into harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and misconduct allegations, ensuring findings are thorough, defensible, and consistently applied
Manage relationships with outside employment counsel across jurisdictions, driving down spend while maintaining quality through smart matter allocation and clear escalation protocols
Partner with Trust & Safety, Security, and HR Business Partners on sensitive terminations, reductions in force, and executive separations to minimize legal exposure
Design, implement, and continuously update global employment policies, handbooks, and codes of conduct that reflect current law and StubHub's culture
Build and maintain a global employment law compliance calendar and audit program, proactively identifying gaps before they become incidents
Partner with Immigration counsel (in-house or outside) to support visa sponsorship, global mobility, and cross-border hiring compliance
Track record of building or significantly modernizing employment policies, training programs, and compliance infrastructure from the ground up
