* Significant experience running all facets of employment litigation through trial/arbitration, as well as excellent knowledge of federal and state employment laws and regulations (including Title VII, ADA, FMLA, FLSA, FEHA, PAGA, etc.) and experience with federal and state agencies (DOL, EEOC, DLSE, DFEH etc.).
* Experience with both class/collective actions and single-plaintiff cases.
* Entrepreneurial mindset that enables you to work independently with little guidance, but also to use good judgment and escalate issues when needed.
* Ability to operate as a team player who can effectively work with and manage legal staff and collaborate with business partners across the company.
* Exceptional written and oral communication skills.
* Sound and practical business judgment, along with good old-fashioned common sense.
* A sense of humor and an upbeat, can-do attitude, in keeping with the company's "Own It" philosophy.
* And you should love being a lawyer
