As Employment Counsel, you’ll join Palantir’s in-house legal team with a critical role on the global employment law team.. This is an excellent opportunity for an employment lawyer who is still relatively new in their career to pivot to in-house work or transition from another in-house role to Palantir, a place where we deeply value thoughtful people, hard work, a sense of humor and low ego.. Provide day-to-day advice and counseling to the People and Recruiting Teams and the business on a range of employment-law related issues such as performance management and terminations, leaves of absence / accommodations, and investigating claims, among other areas, focused on the US but also including Canada and potentially LATAM jurisdictions.. 3+ years’ experience as an employment attorney at a top firm or in-house (a combination is even better!). Many teams do offer hybrid options (WFH a day or two a week), allowing our employees to strike the right trade-off for their personal productivity.
