Groupon is seeking a talented Employment & Compliance Counsel to join our dynamic team. Reporting directly to the Vice President, Deputy General Counsel, this role offers a unique blend of autonomy, collaboration, and the chance to work on high-profile projects that shape our global business.

We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact. We're curious, fun, a little intense, and kind of obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a great way to grow your career? Let's get into the details:

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.

Be a key advisor on compliance legal matters, and conduct regular employment and compliance training to employees.

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.

Experience with advising multinational corporations.

Prior in-house experience is encouraged but not required.

Excellent communication skills and an outstanding ability to explain legal matters.

Excellent English written and oral communication skills, including the ability to present complex legal concepts clearly and concisely

A team player with an ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
