Is it proper grammar to use the word «where» after a comma, or can I replace this word with something more appropriate?
«I was employed as a ______ at ABC Company, where I was responsible for managing a team of 20 employees.»

It indeed sounds perfectly alright.
That said, you could also say:
«I was employed as a ______ at ABC Company. My job consisted in
managing a team of 20 employees.»

Yes it is grammatically correct. You can substitute where with in which

‘Where’ sounds perfectly alright if you want to draw attention to your entire time spent at the ABC company. But if you want the details in the second part of the sentence to explain the actual job mentioned in the first part, then it might be better to use ‘in which capacity’. So the sentence reads:
I was employed as a project manager at the ABC company, in which capacity I was responsible for managing a team of 20 employees.

Unit 50- Part A
 Do you know where … ? /I don’t know why … / Could you tell me what … ? etc. |
|
| When the question (Where has Tom gone?) is part of a longer sentence (Do you know … ? / I don’t know … / Can you tell me … ? etc.), the word order changes. We say: | |
| • What time is it? but • Who are those people? • Where can I find Linda? • How much will it cost? |
Do you know what time it is? I don’t know who those people are. Can you tell me where I can find Linda? Do you have any idea how much it will cost? |
Be careful with do/does/did questions. We say: |
|
| • What time does the film begin? but • What do you mean? |
Do you know what rime the film begins? (not does the film begin) Please explain what you mean. I wonder why she left early. |
Use if or whether where there is no other question word (what, why etc.): |
|
| • Did anybody see you? but | Do you know if anybody saw you? or … whether anybody saw you? |

Where is a wh-word. We use where to ask questions, as a conjunction and to introduce relative clauses.
Where as a question word
We can use where to ask for information about place:
Where did you buy those shoes?
Where will you be working next Monday?
We can use where in indirect questions:
I asked him where I could buy an umbrella.
Can you tell me where she left the keys?
Emphatic questions with wherever and where on earth
We can ask emphatic questions using wherever or where on earth to express shock or surprise. We stress ever and earth:
Wherever are you going with such a big bag? (stronger than Where are you going?)
Where on earth have I put my wallet? (stronger than Where have I put my wallet?)
Where as a conjunction
We use where as a conjunction meaning ‘in the place that’ or ‘in situations that’. The clause with where is a subordinate clause and needs a main clause to complete its meaning. If the where clause comes before the main clause, we use a comma:
Where you find a lot of water, you will also find these beautiful insects.
Where you have to pay a deposit, be sure to get a receipt.
Where as a relative pronoun
We can use where as a relative pronoun:
The hotel where we spent our honeymoon has been demolished.
The hall where you’re giving your talk has a really good sound system.
