Job Description:
insightsoftware is seeking a Managing Counsel, Employment, Disputes & Litigation to lead the company's global disputes and litigation function within the Governance, Risk, Compliance & Disputes (“GRCD”) team. This role has enterprise-wide responsibility for managing all disputes and litigation matters including commercial, IP, contract, vendor, regulatory, employment, and other disputes across insightsoftware's global footprint of 40+ countries.
While the role carries a broad, general disputes mandate, the successful candidate will be an employment lawyer by trade and will continue to serve as the company's principal resource on employment-related disputes and litigation, working in close partnership with Human Resources. This role is a people-manager position, and reports directly to the SVP & Head, Global Legal Affairs & Compliance.
The ideal candidate is a confident, pragmatic litigator and people manager who can flex across dispute types and jurisdictions, build and lead a high-performing team, and calibrate risk across varied business contexts. This individual must be comfortable operating with significant independence while providing clear, actionable guidance to senior leadership.
