Senior Counsel - Employment and Internal Investigations

At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time, others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.

This is a remote position, so you’ll be working remotely from your home. You may occasionally visit a GoDaddy office to meet with your team for events or meetings.  

This position is not eligible to be performed in Alaska, Mississippi, North Dakota, or the Virgin Islands.

GoDaddy is not currently considering candidates for this role in California, Seattle, or NYC.

  • Engage in strategy to craft and help implement both proactive and responsive programs and plans to minimize risk to the Company.
  • Sometimes, you might handle other employment issues and projects, giving reliable legal advice on topics such as employee relations, hiring, training, performance management, discipline, payroll, benefits, and employee leave and accommodation requests.

Your experience should include...

  • You strive for continuous improvement and use data, experimentation, and technology to identify changes that deliver better outcomes.
  • Strong business insight to understand and anticipate the nature and magnitude of issues that could arise in various settings.
  • Strong task prioritization based on the level of risk to the organization and business priorities.
  • Proficiency with Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint.

You might also have...
