About the Team
Shopify’s Employment Legal Team focuses on legal issues that affect Shopify as a global employer. Our core goal is to ensure that Shopify remains a trusted employer that can strike a balance between compliance with legal requirements and maintaining our amazing, mission-driven work environment.
With thousands of employees spread across the globe, we can guarantee that there will never be a dull moment. Shopify marches to the beat of its own drum, and you’ll be faced with nuanced and exciting issues you couldn’t dream up if you tried. Working with other members of our Legal Team and providing support to our global Talent Team, you’ll apply your knowledge and experience to new scenarios while skilfully providing business-oriented advice in an efficient, succinct, and easy-to-understand way. No legal memos or law school lectures here!
From hiring, to employee relations, to exits - this work is varied and constantly evolving. Real talk: being a member of a fast-moving team that’s doing cutting edge legal work is not always easy. We find fulfilment practicing at the top of our games with our amazing team and coming up with creative solutions to complex problems!
About You
We’re looking for a curious, passionate, and dedicated employment lawyer with at least a few years of post-qualification experience dealing with employment standards, occupational health and safety, human rights, and litigation matters. You must be able to juggle competing priorities, directly manage high pressure situations, and be equally adept at playing a lead role on some projects and a supporting role on others. Effective, confident communication skills and the ability to provide user-friendly legal advice is paramount to the success of this role. You will also need to leverage a combination of your existing knowledge, great instincts, and strong research skills to extrapolate into new areas of law, new geographies, and areas of ambiguity.
Success on the Shopify legal team requires intellect, humility and a sense of humour. You need to take the work seriously, but not take yourself too seriously. You also need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, able to work with many different types of personalities, and be ready to navigate uncharted waters and frequent change.
