We also practice what we preach! We are a fully remote company which means we have no head office. Our team of more than 150 people is located in more than 35 countries and territories around the world. This means you can work from anywhere. We provide benefits and support in any global location just as we would for our clients and their remote teams.

Requirements
What will you do? (The role)
We're searching for a Legal Counsel with a strong entrepreneurial mindset and an ability to resolve a wide range of complex matters across 150 countries, independently and by engaging local counsel.
This is a strategic role within Omnipresent that unlocks our ability to deliver global legal solutions to a global audience.
You aren't a typical legal expert - you are eager to build the product and help bring it to market, not just advise or break down processes. You'd rather work with Product Management and Engineers to create massive change in messy environments than create and manage pretty documents and diagrams.
You will be a pivotal and highly involved member of an empowered innovation team that is disrupting the infrastructure of the global employment industry.
You will obsess over the customer experience and look for solutions both inside and outside the company to solve their needs. In doing so you will interact with all aspects of the company - from Sales, Finance, Payroll, Operations, Legal to just about everyone - to conceptualise and implement your novel solutions.
Specifically, you will:
- Analyse existing legal processes and unbundle them to understand how can we repackage them to deliver the same business value at 100x the efficiency and speed.
- Horizon-scanning, especially for notable regulatory developments in Employment law
- Innovate to find new and better ways of delivering our services.
- Work with everyone in the company, from product managers and sales to scope software and processes that will support exponential business growth.
- Work with other product teams to identify and manage cross-team dependencies.
- Be a part of the delivery team to ensure operational, regulatory and organisational delivery complexities are managed.
- Work with cross-functional stakeholders to elicit business, legal and functional requirements.
- Advise on our internal team from a legal perspective
💡 If you are not an experienced lawyer please do not apply!
What are you great at? (Previous experience)
- Pragmatism: You understand and are deliberate about making trade-offs between exploration and exploitation. You can iteratively define the scope of process and software respectively to ensure both nimble business value delivery, as well as consistency with the strategic goals.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills: Your communication skills build bridges. You extract requirements from those you can't express them clearly, then clearly document them. You can explain legal concepts to non-legal people, and business concepts to engineers, designers or sales, and reach consensus in multidisciplinary environments.
- Building alongside others: you enjoy being a proactive member of a team focused on creating new user-centric products.
- Out of the box thinker: you are able to break down complex legal processes and problems and can quickly digest complex information.
- Systems thinking: you are able to understand both the big picture and the small details, and can comfortably understand the implications of one on the other.
- You are inquisitive and detail-oriented. You are not satisfied with the easy answer, but you dig deep to uncover crucial insights.
- Fast delivery: You love working in a fast-paced environment, pushing existing boundaries and constantly creating new value.

Home office setup
It should go without saying that we will provide you with the equipment you need to work from home in the same way you would if you were in an office. Prefer a PC to a Mac? No problem. You choose what you need. We'll give you a budget to get all the infrastructure that enables you to work effectively wherever you are, including broadband costs.
Education budget
Your development should be a continuous conversation with your manager and they will support you in choosing what you need whether that's accreditations, workshops, or formal degree programs or courses. Important is that you update your Individual Development Plan with any kind of education you take, so that you make sure that you apply the knowledge you have gained in theory, and the learned information will stay with you long term.
Co-working space access
We offer all employees access to co-working spaces wherever they live in a flexible manner so that you use what you need.
We believe remote working is a great equalizer and we practice what we preach. Inclusivity is fundamental to our mission and we are committed to conscious inclusion. We believe in the potential of everyone; regardless of race, religion or belief, ethnic origin, different physical ability, family structure, socio-economics, age, nationality or citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
