- Liaise with business units, HR, and external counsel to implement compliant platform worker programmes
- Support dispute resolution and regulatory enquiries relating to employment classification
Who We're Looking For
- Qualified lawyer with 5+ years' experience in EU employment law, preferably including gig economy or platform work matters
- Deep knowledge of EU labour standards, directive compliance, and member state employment regimes
- Demonstrated expertise in platform worker classification and regulatory compliance
- Strong analytical and communication skills; ability to translate complex legal concepts for business stakeholders
- Fluent English; additional EU language skills are valuable
- Self-directed, pragmatic problem-solver comfortable working in fast-moving, regulated environments
