• Manage outside counsel, matter budgets, legal hold and e-discovery processes, and relevant Company policies, including the Outside Counsel Billing Guidelines and Legal Hold Policy.
• Conduct factual investigations and partner with cross-functional stakeholders to gather evidence, assess risk, preserve relevant information, and develop and execute litigation and settlement strategies.
• Prepare concise matter summaries, risk assessments, settlement recommendations, and reports for the Legal and Executive Leadership Teams, the Company's Board of Directors, Finance, and auditors.
• Assess litigation risks in connection with mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic transactions, including due diligence and post-closing integration planning.
• Monitor legal, regulatory, and litigation developments that may impact the Company's risk profile and advise stakeholders accordingly.
• Develop and deliver training, guidance, and best practices to help the business identify, mitigate, and manage litigation and dispute-related risks.
• Support other Legal Department initiatives, including U.S. employment-related matters, disputes, and litigation as needed.
• Occasional domestic and international travel may be required (less than 10%).

What We Are Looking For:

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar.
• 4+ years of experience supporting or managing commercial disputes/litigation at a law firm, in-house legal department, or a combination thereof.
