The posting, as ZoomInfo wrote it

ZoomInfo is where careers accelerate. We move fast, think boldly, and empower you to do the best work of your life. You’ll be surrounded by teammates who care deeply, challenge each other, and celebrate wins. With tools that amplify your impact and a culture that backs your ambition, you won’t just contribute. You’ll make things happen fast.

ZoomInfo is looking for an experienced, pragmatic, and business-minded Senior Counsel, Labor & Employment to join our growing in-house legal team in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

In this role, you will own the full spectrum of employment matters across the company—from high-impact strategic advisory and executive consultation to the day-to-day, tactical support of our HR team.

  • Deliver Recommendation-Oriented Advice: Provide actionable, pragmatic guidance that balances legal risk with commercial objectives, operational speed, and employee experience. Regularly present a clear point of view and recommended path forward rather than merely enumerating risks.
  • Executive Communication: Translate complex employment-law issues into clear, concise, and business-oriented terms for senior leaders, distinguishing effectively between material exposure and manageable operational decisions.
  • Support Decision-Making: Partner with the CHRO, Chief Business Officer, HR VPs, and finance/compensation executives to support key employment-related decisions and strategy. Recognize that business leaders own final personnel and business decisions, and provide robust o
