The Role
Veeva's Legal Team is seeking an employment attorney to join our collaborative legal team. As a high performer, you will lead the employment law function for the APAC Region, providing counsel and advice in all aspects of the employment relationship and managing a portfolio of contentious matters.

- Draft and negotiate employment-related agreements, including severance agreements.
- Coordinate with internal and external subject matter experts, including external counsel, when needed, and manage employment-related litigation.
- Assist with other corporate initiatives as required (e.g., M&A, commercial, and compliance matters).
- Travel in the Region to attend court with external counsel where necessary and to develop and maintain relationships with business partners.
- Support the continuous improvement of internal processes.

- A confident and positive lawyer with experience providing advice and counsel in all employment matters, including hiring, discipline, and dismissals, drafting employment-related documents, and leading assigned projects to positive conclusions.
