Additionally, you will monitor relevant legislation, represent Shipt before the National Labor Relations Board and other administrative agencies, manage outside counsel, and deliver training to internal stakeholders.

• You have a strong working knowledge of federal and state worker classification frameworks including IRS common law, ABC, and economic reality tests as well as multi state compliance challenges like California AB 5
• You have experience advising on classification risk in platform, gig economy, or non-traditional workforces, with a preference for experience in retail technology, logistics, or on demand delivery
