At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time, others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.
This position may be a hybrid or fully remote position, as decided by your manager. If designated as hybrid, you’ll divide your time between working remotely from your home and an office location, so you should live within commuting distance. If designated as remote, you’ll be working remotely from your home and may occasionally visit a GoDaddy office to meet with your team for events or offsites. Your hiring manager can share more about this role’s hybrid or remote designation.
This position is not eligible to be performed in Alaska, Mississippi, North Dakota, or the Virgin Islands.
Join our team
GoDaddy is looking for an attorney to assist with and handle employment matters and projects, conduct internal investigations, manage employment litigation and outside counsel, and provide advice and support to our People Operations and business teams. This position will work with GoDaddy's People Operations, Payroll, Benefits, and Recruiting teams and other departments within the Company as necessary.
What you’ll get to do…
Investigations
- Conduct investigations into allegations of serious violations of company policies in an efficient, thorough, and professional manner. Investigations will often involve sensitive subjects and will entail conducting investigations, reviewing legal and compliance guidelines, and finding, pulling, and using data from various systems as appropriate. You will partner with other members of the legal department, outside counsel, the Compliance team, and business leadership to ensure accurate and consistent outcomes.
- You are expected to exercise excellent judgment and discretion, and to provide analysis into complex and varied employee relations and compliance concerns, grounded in extensive knowledge of employment laws and in-depth reviews of company policies and procedures.
- You will author professional investigation reports in a timely manner and maintain well-organized and accurate case files.
- You will also engage in a strategy to craft and help implement proactive programs and plans to minimize risk to the Company.
- This role is imperative to promote consistency and fairness in all practices and further our values to ensure a positive work environment while mitigating risk for the organization.
Employment-Related Duties
- Lead, participate in, and provide guidance on People Operations functions from pre-hire to post-employment (and everything in between), such as employee relations, recruiting, training, performance management, discipline, adverse employment actions, payroll, benefits, employee leaves and requests for accommodations, immigration issues, and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
- Guide and supervise employment litigation and other disputes on the company's behalf, including, but not limited to, investigating facts, formulating strategies, drafting and responding to discovery requests, preparing and reviewing other litigation documents, and managing outside counsel. You may also work with e-discovery tools to identify and disclose relevant documents and information.
- You may occasionally attend mediations and make appearances in court or before administrative agencies.
