About the Role
Polymarket is looking for an Employment Counsel to sit inside Legal and Compliance, working day-to-day alongside our Chief People Person on the full spectrum of employment matters across a growing, global workforce. You'll own your domain and be expected to resolve issues without routing everything upward.
The mandate is straightforward: keep the company's employment practices clean, well-documented, and legally sound as we scale. That means being the go-to resource for HR on daily questions, building the policy infrastructure that a company at our stage needs, and managing any litigation or agency charges that come in.
What You'll Do
- Draft and review offer letters, contractor agreements, and advisor arrangements, ensuring every document is accurate, consistent, and legally sound
- Field daily employment questions from the People team directly without unnecessary escalation
- Manage active employee complaints and performance-related documentation from intake through resolution, keeping appropriate records and advising on risk at each step
- Partner with the Chief People Person on employee relations issues, acting as a legal advisor and thought partner
- Track and respond to employment litigation and agency charges, including coordinating with outside counsel and owning the company's position throughout
- Build and maintain core employment documents — offer templates, severance frameworks, and policy materials — starting from scratch where necessary
- Proactively identify the company's employment risks and drive issues to resolution
What We're Looking For
- JD with active bar membership in good standing
- 5+ years of employment law experience, either in-house or at a firm with direct client counseling work
- Prior experience working directly with an HR or People team on a daily basis, not just occasional legal reviews
- Hands-on employment litigation and agency charge management experience, including EEOC, state equivalents, and civil litigation
- Demonstrated ability to independently handle classification questions, employee relations issues, and termination decisions without senior counsel weighing in on every matter
- Experience building or overhauling core employment documents from the ground up — handbooks, offer letter templates, severance frameworks
- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where the processes you build will often be the first version that exists
- (Plus) Experience working at a crypto, fintech, or similarly regulated company
- (Plus) Experience building employment policies at a high-growth startup where headcount and complexity were growing simultaneously
Benefits
- Competitive salary & equity
- Unlimited PTO
- Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
- 401k match
- Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
