Job Description

We’re building a world of health around every individual — shaping a more connected, convenient and compassionate health experience. At CVS Health®, you’ll be surrounded by passionate colleagues who care deeply, innovate with purpose, hold ourselves accountable and prioritize safety and quality in everything we do. Join us and be part of something bigger – helping to simplify health care one person, one family and one community at a time.

Omnicare is a leading provider of pharmacy services to long-term care facilities nationwide, supporting skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and other institutional care settings. Following the sale of Omnicare by CVS Health, the Senior Legal Counsel will support Omnicare and its continued operations as an independent, standalone organization. Candidates should be aware that this role will not remain within CVS Health following the transaction. The individual hired into this role will be employed by Omnicare and will contribute to shaping the future of our organization during this exciting period of growth and transformation.

Omnicare seeks an experienced Labor & Employment attorney to serve as a key in-house resource for the company's workforce-related legal matters. This attorney will provide strategic and hands-on legal support across the full employee lifecycle, with a strong focus on compliance, risk mitigation, and litigation management in a long term care (LTC) environment (highly regulated healthcare and pharmacy environment). The role partners closely with HR, Employee Relations, Compliance, and Operations leadership to navigate complex workforce issues including workforce reductions, union considerations, investigations, and regulatory compliance.

Major Responsibilities

  • Serve as primary legal advisor on all employment matters, including hiring, discipline, terminations, investigations, leave management, accommodations, and wage and hour compliance
  • Advise HR and business leaders on day-to-day employment matters across a multi-state, unionized and non-unionized workforce
  • Manage employment litigation, agency charges, and alternative dispute resolution proceedings, including oversight of outside counsel
  • Draft, review, and negotiate employment agreements, severance agreements, separation agreements, and HR-related policies
  • Lead internal investigations into employee complaints, workplace misconduct, and related matters
  • Advise on compliance with federal and state labor laws and applicable state equivalents across Omnicare's geographic footprint
  • Support HR on labor relations strategy, collective bargaining agreement interpretation, grievance processes, and union matters
  • Partner with Compliance on workforce-related regulatory matters, including those specific to the healthcare and pharmacy industries (e.g., state pharmacy board requirements, DEA, and CMS workforce standards)
  • Advise on workforce restructuring, reductions-in-force, and related WARN Act obligations
  • Provide training to HR and management on employment law topics

Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of legal experience, with a combination of Labor/Employment, law firm, and in-house experience preferred.
  • Strong working knowledge of federal and multistate employment law; experience managing matters across a large, geographically dispersed employer strongly preferred
  • Healthcare industry experience a plus, particularly in long-term care, pharmacy, or a highly regulated sector
  • Experience managing employment litigation and agency proceedings
  • Labor relations experience, including collective bargaining and NLRB matters, is a plus given Omnicare's workforce profile
  • Excellent judgment, communication, and ability to advise senior business leaders in plain language
  • Comfortable operating in a lean, high-growth environment with significant autonomy
