Webflow is the agentic web marketing platform for modern marketing teams, helping organizations build, manage, and optimize high-performing web experiences that drive predictable growth and strengthen brand trust.

You’ll use that background to give timely, practical, business-minded advice, primarily to our Employee Relations and People teams around the world, so they can do their best work without unnecessary barriers. You have experience litigating and/or counseling on compliance with federal and state anti-discrimination, harassment, and retaliation laws, ideally including analysis under California law. Prior in-house or seconded experience at a technology company is a plus, but not required. You’re an entrepreneurial, resourceful self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, builds strong relationships, and is curious about supporting a global workforce.
