The Challenge
Reporting directly to the Company’s Senior Director, Assistant General Counsel, Global Labor & Employment, you will provide advice and counsel to the People team on employment relations matters across the Americas region (predominantly the U.S. and Canada) 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, immigration, contingent workers, and reductions in force. 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 more important keys 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.
