This is a critical, high-impact role designed to bring consistency, clarity, and risk mitigation to how employee matters are handled across our organization.

• Identify and mitigate risk related to employee actions (wage & hour, retaliation, termination) 
• Interpret and apply company policies across a multi-state environment 
• Support ADA accommodations, unemployment processes, and partner with legal counsel as needed 
• Maintain organized, audit-ready case documentation and support leaders with ER-related guidance 

What You'll Bring 

• 5+ years of experience in employee relations, investigations, or employment compliance 
• Strong knowledge of federal and multi-state employment laws 
• Experience supporting hourly, multi-site workforces
