Senior Legal Counsel - Core
Remote · Full-time · Posted 2d ago
This is an exciting time to join Remote and make a personal difference in the global HR-tech space as a Senior Legal Counsel, joining our Legal team. We are looking for a talented and eager lawyer, who is interested in helping with our team’s mission: supercharging our business through the provision of excellent legal advice and implementation of solid legal processes.
Remote’s Legal Team is responsible for delivering pragmatic and innovative legal solutions for Remote’s products and services, while protecting Remote from unacceptable risk. As Remote adds new products to the platform and rapidly scales its new and existing customer base, so too does the volume and complexity of legal issues. Each new venture, customer, or external employee could bring a myriad of legal issues across 90+ jurisdictions.
The Core Team serves as the cornerstone of the company’s legal and operational support, closely aligned with the Legal Team’s vision of providing strategic, scalable support at speed that drives business growth.
Acting as the first line of defense, the Core Team ensures that routine legal processes as well as Knowledge Management and Policy Keeping are managed efficiently and effectively, with speed. We optimise the use of broader legal resources by allowing specialised legal sub-teams to concentrate on high-priority, complex issues and enable the broader organisation to focus on its strategic objectives with minimal friction and without bottlenecks.
As a Senior Legal Counsel, you will support the Legal Core Team in these tasks while taking ownership of complex legal projects. You will play a crucial role in shaping the legal department and mentoring junior team members.
Remote's Total Rewards philosophy is to ensure fair, unbiased compensation and fair equity pay along with competitive benefits in all locations in which we operate.

The actual base pay for the successful candidate in this role is dependent upon many factors such as location, transferable or job-related skills, work experience, relevant training, business needs, and market demands. The base salary range may be subject to change.
At Remote, we foster internal mobility as a key element of our culture of employee growth and development, supported by a compensation philosophy that guarantees pay equity and fairness. Therefore, all compensation changes associated with an internal move will be reviewed by the Total Rewards & People Enablement team on a case by case basis.
