Job Description
If we’re going to work together, let us first introduce ourselves – because we are proud of our team at FedEx Express Canada. You know us as a global transportation company – and we’ve shipped some pretty interesting things over the years like part of the ship’s hull of the Titanic, a windmill, race cars, a helicopter, the shark from Jaws and a lot of panda bears who get their own chartered airplane!
So, let’s get started telling you why you might be the perfect fit for our team. If you are a positive, high-energy person, we have a great job for you!
We’re looking for a Legal Counsel and we promise it’s a really fun role! You get to:
- Advise and participate on the structure and negotiation of basic business transactions.
- Advise the corporation on matters involving postal, trucking, aviation, customs, competition and other regulations.
- Review and edit for legal content advertising and marketing material and other corporation communications and publications.
- Handle litigation to which the corporation is a party, including monitoring the performance and progress of outside counsel representing the corporation in such litigation.
- Provide legal counsel and advice to the corporation and its affiliates to ensure adherence to federal, provincial and local employment laws.
- Maintain corporate legal books and minutes.
This job might be for you if you:
- Thrive in a dynamic environment where you are comfortable working cross functionally by advising key stakeholders on laws and compliance regulations.
And - we'd love if you’re really good at the below as well:
- Reviewing and analyzing laws and regulations affecting the company’s present and future plans to implement the best business structure for legal compliance.
- Reviewing corporation policies and procedures and advising corporate personnel on the application and meaning of such policies and procedures.
So what do you need to do all of this? How about…
- Bachelor of Law degree or JD required
- Member in good standing in the Law Society of Ontario
- 2+ years of experience in a legal role
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Strong research and negotiation skills
Some awesome perks to working at FedEx:
- A competitive salary and incentives
- A progressive benefits programs, including health and dental coverage and pension plan
- A Career Investment Fund with up to $5k a year for programs or tuition reimbursement
- Strong Community Service programs including diverse volunteer, charity, and fundraising initiatives to give back to both local and global communities
- Discounted FedEx services, flights, hotels, entertainment and car rentals
- A fun and diverse team who voted FedEx a best employer and a great place to work (we aren’t just saying that, it’s actually true)
We don’t expect you to deliver any helicopters or pandas – but if you can deliver on this exciting job opportunity, please attach your updated resume when applying. We thank all applicants and we will contact you directly – by email, not by FedEx – if selected for an interview.
