    In this pursuit, we know our employees are our most valuable asset.

    After operating in the challenging biotech sector for 25 years, we have a proven track record of resiliency in the face of adversity.

    The success of our lead product has provided a solid commercial foundation allowing us to reinvigorate our research efforts and grow our team in areas such as Drug Discovery, Clinical Development and Commercial.

    As we expand our global partnerships and further reinvest in R&D to help us discover the next breakthrough for difficult-to-treat cancers, we're seeking to add talented, dedicated employees to power our mission.

    Exelixis is seeking a seasoned Senior Director and Counsel, Employment and Public Affairs to join the Legal Department's General & Administrative (G&A) Legal group, reporting to the Vice President of Legal Affairs and Operations, but with a dotted line reporting relationship to the Executive Vice President & General Counsel.

    The responsibilities of this newly established position focus on legal issues distinctly related to the company's Human Resources and Public Affairs organizations.

    These include, without exception, labor and employment policies, employee relations issues, oversight of litigation and dispute management, and transactional support for the HR and Public Affairs functions.

    The successful candidate will be an integral member of the Legal Department, working closely with colleagues and management in their department, with the company's executive team, as well as independently in a dynamic, collegial environment.

    She and her team will manage, maintain and further develop a team supporting general vendor agreements, consulting contracts, and employment law matters, in addition to other General & Administrative functions, as needed.

    Advise and counsel executive and senior management and the company's HR team concerning the satisfactory conduct, oversight and resolution of internal investigations, audits, pre-dispute conflicts, employment law claims, arbitrations, and labor relation matters.

    Collaborate closely with stakeholders to evolve scalable employment policies and programs, such as within the company's employee handbook and through its benefit offerings.

    Work closely with, and act as a liaison with, outside counsel to ensure that the company's senior legal leadership obtains appropriate specialized support and manages risk effectively.

    Lead legal professionals (contract managers and administrators) providing general legal and contracting support to the company's Human Resources and Public Affairs teams.

    Draft, revise, negotiate, and manage a wide range of contracts in support of day-to-day operations of the company, including various employment staffing agreements (recruiting, temp staffing, executive search), employee benefit or activity agreements, services and consulting agreements, and task orders/statements of work, and amendments.

    Supervises staff, including hiring, scheduling and assigning work, reviewing performance, and recommends salary increases, promotions, transfers, demotions, or terminations.

    Minimum of 8 years of experience as counsel in a law firm and in-house legal environment, preferably supporting life sciences companies.

    Client counseling experience is required, and employment litigation experience is preferred.
    Possesses executive presence and ability to interact comfortably and appropriately with executives and senior management.

    Can proactively develop and propose creative solutions for complex problems and implement organizational or team objectives in a professional and timely manner.

    Has experience with change management, including participating on task forces or steering committees, building consensus, and communicating change successfully.

    Communicates effectively with outside vendors/partners and serve as a liaison between outside counsel and key internal stakeholders to help drive matters and issues to resolution.

    Is creative and strategic in providing practical advice that balances risks with business objectives.
    Is detail-oriented, has excellent organizational skills, and can manage multiple transactions and projects simultaneously, sometimes under tight deadlines.
    Has strong computer skills in document preparation and data presentation (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
    Infrequent travel may be required.
    #The base pay range may take into account the candidate's geographic region, which will adjust the pay depending on the specific work location. The base pay offered will take into account the candidate's geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, experience and internal equity, among other factors.

    In addition to the base salary, as part of our Total Rewards program, Exelixis offers comprehensive employee benefits package, including a 401k plan with generous company contributions, group medical, dental and vision coverage, life and disability insurance, and flexible spending accounts.

    Employees are also eligible for a discretionary annual bonus program, or if field sales staff, a sales-based incentive plan.

    Exelixis also offers employees the opportunity to purchase company stock, and receive long-term incentives, 15 accrued vacation days in their first year, 17 paid holidays including a company-wide winter shutdown in December, and up to 10 sick days throughout the calendar year.
