StubHub is on a mission to redefine the live event experience on a global scale. Whether someone is looking to attend their first event or their hundredth, we’re here to delight them all the way from the moment they start looking for a ticket until they step through the gate. The same goes for our sellers.

From fans selling a single ticket to the promoters of a worldwide stadium tour, we want StubHub to be the safest, most convenient way to offer a ticket to the millions of fans who browse our platform around the world. The Opportunity: StubHub recently completed its IPO on the NYSE and operates as a global marketplace spanning 195 countries, 33 languages, and 49 currencies. That scale and public-company status raise the stakes on every employment decision we make — how we hire, pay, manage, discipline, and separate from people, and how we do it consistently across a global, multi-jurisdictional workforce.

We're looking for a Senior Counsel to build and lead the function that protects StubHub's people practices end-to-end. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants both the strategic seat — advising the C-suite and Board on workforce risk — and the operational depth of running matters, managing outside counsel, and getting into the details when it matters. You'll be the primary legal advisor to the CHRO and business leaders on all employment and labor matters, while also building the policies, training, and governance infrastructure a public company of our scale requires.

This is a rare opportunity to build a best-in-class employment law function at a category-defining company, at the exact moment its people practices are being scaled for the next chapter.
