About Harri :

Harri is the first enterprise-ready workforce management platform built for the services vertical. The services vertical faces the greatest technological challenges that exist within the world of Human Capital Management and we believe they deserve a platform built from the ground up as a result. We have experienced a tremendous amount of growth since our 2012 inception and we have no plans on stopping that growth anytime soon. We are passionate about building a team of Service First-driven individuals who want to exceed the expectations of those who experience our brand.

If you’re a builder, or problem solver, and love the fast pace of a startup, it’s time to meet the Harri family.

Who you are :

Harri is seeking a highly skilled and dedicated In-House Legal Counsel focusing on Labor Law Compliance to join our Product Compliance team. Reporting directly to the Director of Product Compliance, this critical role will be instrumental in ensuring that Harri's cutting-edge HCM platform and internal operations adhere to the complex and evolving landscape of global labor and employment laws.

This is an exciting opportunity for a proactive and strategic legal professional to contribute to a fast-growing technology company that is revolutionizing how frontline teams operate. You will play a pivotal role in mitigating legal risks, advising on product development, and ensuring our platform remains compliant across various jurisdictions.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Legal Counsel & Advice : Provide expert, pragmatic, and timely legal advice to the Product, Engineering, Sales, Human Resources, and other internal teams on a wide range of labor and employment law matters, including but not limited to :

Leave laws (e.g., FMLA, Paternity / Maternity Leave, sick leave).

Discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.

Hiring, onboarding, performance management, and termination processes.

Workforce classification (employee vs. independent contractor).

Data privacy related to employee information.

Collective bargaining and union relations (where applicable).

Workplace health and safety regulations.

Compliance with specific industry regulations impacting our hospitality and retail clients.

  • Product Compliance : Partner closely with the Product and Engineering teams to embed labor law compliance requirements into Harri's platform features and functionalities (e.g., scheduling, time & attendance, onboarding, payroll integration, and communication tools).
  • Policy Development & Implementation : Draft, review, and update internal policies, procedures, and training materials related to labor and employment law compliance for both internal Harri operations and as guidance for our clients leveraging the platform.
  • Regulatory Monitoring & Analysis : Monitor, research, and analyze new and changing labor and employment laws, regulations, and judicial decisions at federal, state, and local levels (including U.S. and U.K. jurisdictions primarily, with awareness of global trends) to assess their impact on Harri's products and business operations.
  • Risk Management : Identify, assess, and mitigate legal risks associated with labor law compliance, developing proactive strategies to minimize exposure.
  • Contract Review : Assist in reviewing and negotiating contracts, particularly those with a strong labor or employment law nexus.
  • Training & Education : Develop and deliver training sessions to internal stakeholders on labor law compliance best practices and updates.
  • External Counsel Management : Collaborate with and manage external legal counsel on specialized matters or litigation when necessary.
  • Dispute Resolution : Assist in the resolution of employment-related disputes, claims, and investigations.
  • Experience and Skills :

  • Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited law school.
  • Active bar admission in good standing in New York.
  • Minimum of 5-8 years of experience practicing labor and employment law, with a strong preference for in-house experience within a technology or SaaS company, or significant law firm experience advising tech clients.
  • Deep expertise in U.S. federal and state labor and employment laws.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex legal requirements into practical, business-oriented advice and actionable solutions for product development.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Strong communication (written and verbal), negotiation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with diverse teams.
  • High degree of professional ethics, integrity, and sound judgment.
  • Proactive, self-motivated, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Experience with HR technology platforms or workforce management solutions is a significant advantage.
  • The salary range for this position is $170,000-210,000 (USD).
