Employee Relations & Workplace Investigations Specialist . Our client is a respected name in their industry — a multi-state, global operation known for holding themselves to a high standard when it comes to workplace integrity and culture.

Deep knowledge of employment law at the federal, state, and local level.
Exceptional interviewing, analytical, and report-writing skills — you produce clear, defensible documentation under pressure.
Proficiency in HR systems, with Workday HRMS experience preferred, alongside Microsoft Office Suite.
Unimpeachable discretion, ethical judgment, and the ability to remain impartial in complex, emotionally charged situations.
A natural collaborator who works effectively across HR, Legal, and senior leadership.
