Brand At Post Consumer Brands, we’ve spent generations showing up for families, starting with breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Our cereals have become a trusted part of daily routines, helping spark conversations, fuel busy mornings, and create everyday moments that bring families closer together, including their furry four-legged family members, who have recently become a part of our story. As families have evolved, so have we. What began at the breakfast table has expanded into snacks, peanut butter, and pet food, because caring for a family means feeding every part of it. With the addition of several iconic pet brands, we’ve extended our purpose: to make high-quality, accessible food for everyone under the same roof. This phase is still new, and that’s what makes it exciting. As we continue to grow across grocery and pet, we’re looking for people who care about good food, thoughtful work, and the kind of impact that stretches from store shelves to kitchen tables, and food bowls, across the country. Location Description Post Consumer Brands corporate headquarters in Lakeville, Minnesota, is about 20 miles south of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Lakeville has all the benefits of smaller town living with access to everything a large metropolitan area has to offer. Join more than 400 team members collaborating on the two-building campus to help put breakfast on the tables of millions of consumers in North America. Responsibilities At Post Consumer Brands, you’ll experience the best of both worlds — big company opportunity with a small company attitude. You’ll work closely with a sharp, collaborative HR and Legal team, contribute to meaningful and influential work, and enjoy the balance and flexibility of a true part-time schedule. This is a role where your expertise makes an immediate impact. You’ll guide leaders across the organization, shape employment and labor strategy, and help protect a culture known for being down-to-earth, people-focused, and rooted in doing what’s right. It’s challenging work paired with supportive colleagues, beloved brands, and a workplace where your contributions truly matter. Discover just right. About the Role Reporting to PCB’s General Counsel, the Senior Employment & Labor Counsel will serve as a day-to-day advisor on employment and labor matters across our U.S. and Canadian operations. Partnering across HR, Manufacturing, and Legal, you will provide practical legal guidance, help prevent and resolve disputes, support labor relations, and ensure compliance with evolving employment laws. Designed as a true 20‑hours‑per‑week role, this position is ideal for an experienced employment attorney looking to intentionally step back from full-time practice while still owning meaningful, complex work — with a team that is committed to protecting part-time boundaries, not quietly expanding them. Key Responsibilities Lead employment dispute resolution, including demand letters, investigations, severance negotiations, and agency matters such as EEOC charges. Provide daily counsel on hiring, performance management, terminations, accommodations, wage and hour issues, and other employment topics. Monitor changes in state, federal, and Canadian employment laws; recommend updates and partner with HR on implementation. Support labor relations activities: collective bargaining agreement interpretation, guidance on grievances, and select arbitration support. Develop, update, and refine employment policies, handbooks, templates, and training. Manage employment litigation activity and thoughtfully leverage outside counsel as needed. Serve as a trusted partner to HR and site leaders by offering clear, business‑focused legal guidance. Contribute as a hands-on member of a small legal team that values excellence, collaboration, and practical problem‑solving. Qualifications What We’re Looking For J.D. with strong academic credentials and member of the Minnesota bar. 8–10+ years of employment and labor law experience from a reputable law firm and/or in‑house environment. Experience supporting manufacturing, distribution, or other operationally intensive businesses. Strong understanding of U.S. employment and labor laws; Canadian experience a plus. Excellent writing, communication, and analytical skills with a commitment to high-quality work. Sound judgment with the ability to make decisions in ambiguous or fast‑moving situations. Ability to build trust and influence at all levels — from plant HR teams to senior leaders. A proactive, roll‑up‑your‑sleeves working style and comfort operating within a small legal team. Location & Travel Location: Lakeville, Minnesota (corporate headquarters) Work Arrangement: Part-time hybrid role; typically onsite 2–3 days per week during core business hours Travel: Occasional, limited, and planned in advance — typically related to litigation, investigations, or major labor matters Ready to Make an Impact If you're a seasoned employment and labor attorney looking for a meaningful role with flexibility — where your expertise is valued and your work has real influence — we’d love to connect. Join a team that pairs big opportunities with a welcoming culture and help shape how we support our people and protect our brands. Apply today and point your career in a direction that feels just right. *Please note that posted salary range reflects a full-time role; salary would be prorated for .5 FTE.
