Über diese AGC, Global Employment – San Francisco Bay Area (Hybrid) (955-SLS) Stelle bei Solutuslegal
Our client, a rapidly growing, well-funded startup in stealth mode, is looking to hire an AGC, Global Employment Legal to serve as the primary legal partner for the company’s HR team and business stakeholders on employment and labor matters worldwide and across global affiliate companies. The AGC, Global Employment Legal will report directly to the General counsel. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for an attorney who thrives in a fast-paced, startup environment and can operate as both strategist and executor.
In this role, you will own the employment legal function and have the opportunity, if desired, to take on additional HR executive responsibilities including employee relations, policy programs, and other people-program leadership responsibilities. You will build policies and scalable frameworks, handle day-to-day counseling across a complex, multi-jurisdictional workforce, and manage outside counsel. The ideal candidate brings deep US employment law expertise with meaningful international experience, a comfort level with ambiguity and rapid change, and a practical, business-oriented approach to legal risk. Experience in the defense technology sector, with government-contracted employers is highly valued, as is international employment law experience. You thrive in an environment where the priority list changes by noon, and you're just as comfortable deprioritizing yesterday's ask as you are executing on today's.

Additional qualifications which are a plus (though not necessarily required):
Who You Are:
- Curiosity-driven. You understand the pitfalls of starting at a new job focused on ‘demonstrating value’ and ‘hitting the ground running.’ You are prepared to unlearn things from prior workplaces, and appreciate the value of listening to understand why things are the way they are before jumping in.
- Adaptable. You thrive in an environment where the priority list changes regularly and you're just as comfortable deprioritizing yesterday's ask as you are executing on today's.
- A builder, not a maintainer. You get energy from creating systems and processes where none exist, not from inheriting a fully built legal function.
- Comfortable with ambiguity. You can make sound legal calls with imperfect information and adjust course as facts develop.
- Startup-minded. You understand that speed matters, that “perfect” is the enemy of “good enough,” and that legal’s job is to enable the business—not to slow it down.
- A trusted partner. Business leaders and HR professionals seek you out because you give clear, practical, and actionable advice.
- Mission-driven. You understand the importance of supporting national security and defense missions.
The current targeted base salary for this position ranges from $320K–$370K. Actual compensation is determined based on several factors, including a candidate’s qualifications, and years of directly relevant experience.
