About the Team:

The People team is a core enabler of the business, with a true seat at the table and broad visibility across the company. From compensation and benefits to performance and onboarding, the team takes a comprehensive approach to supporting employees and leaders alike. We embed ourselves into departments, understanding needs and shaping the foundational strategies that will help individuals thrive as the company scales. Every challenge is an opportunity to solve for what really matters, with agility, empathy, and creativity.

About the Role:

• Employee Relations Case Management/Investigations (70%): Be the first point of contact for employee relations concerns such as harassment, discrimination, retaliation and misconduct. Run prompt, impartial and confidential investigations, manage the caseload, and recommend fixes in close partnership with People Business Partners, the business, Legal, Security and EH&S.
• Whistleblower/Case Management Reporting Tracking/Trends/Projects (10%): Manage the internal reporting hotline, case documentation and case disposition. Use data analytics to spot trends, improve reporting to leadership, and drive tech-forward solutions, including AI, to standardize and scale case management.
• Policy Development, Implementation, and Administration (10%): Develop, revise and administer company policies and procedures, including the employee handbook, so they stay legally compliant and follow best practices. Use technology to work more efficiently, and teach employees and managers about policies and their rights and responsibilities.
• Training and Development (5%): Identify ER training needs and build programs with the Training Development team, and track completion of annual HR compliance training. Promote positive employee relations through proactive initiatives, mediation and dispute resolution, and act as an intermediary to resolve workplace conflict.
• HR Compliance (5%): Stay current on federal, state and local employment laws, and make sure all ER practices and decisions follow both policy and the law. Prepare required external compliance reports (such as CA pay transparency and EEO-1), using technology to make compliance more efficient across the company.
