At the heart of every great organization is a culture built on fairness, integrity, and trust.

Who You Are Committed to Being:

A Trusted Advocate: You are a pillar of integrity who balances analytical rigor with human sensitivity. You don’t just "handle cases"; you advocate for a culture of fairness.

An Empathetic Problem-Solver: You possess high emotional intelligence, allowing you to stay grounded and objective during emotionally charged or ambiguous situations.

A Strategic Influencer: You have the "influence without authority" needed to guide senior leaders and HRBPs toward outcomes that align with our values and minimize risk.

A Resilient Partner: You thrive in the gray areas, maintaining your composure and ethical North Star even when the stakes are high.

Duties & Responsibilities:

Lead with Strategy: You’ll be the architect of enterprise-wide ER projects, designing programs and metrics that improve the employee experience and ensure organizational consistency.

Master Case Management: From performance concerns to complex workplace investigations (harassment, discrimination, etc.), you will conduct impartial inquiries and recommend compliant, fair resolutions.

Coach & Enable: You won’t just solve problems; you’ll prevent them. You will design and deliver "ER 101" training and manager enablement sessions to strengthen leadership capabilities across the board.

Advise & Interpret: Serve as the go-to expert for HRBPs and Legal, interpreting HR policies and monitoring employment law trends to keep us ahead of the curve.

Drive Continuous Improvement: Use data analytics to spot trends and risk indicators, turning insights into proactive solutions that reduce organizational risk.

Minimum Qualifications:

You have a deep, nuanced understanding of federal, state, and local labor laws, as well as experience managing sensitive ER matters at scale.

You are a pro at gathering evidence, interviewing with an unbiased lens, and producing objective, high-quality documentation.

You are skilled in mediation and can facilitate open dialogue between parties, even in the most fractured relationships.

You are comfortable using Workday and specialized case management software to track data and generate meaningful insights.

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, or a related field (Master’s degree is a plus).

8+ years of progressive employee relations experience.

SHRM-SCP or SPHR certification is highly preferred.

Exceptional active listening and communication skills, with the ability to convey complex information clearly to diverse audiences.

An unwavering commitment to confidentiality and the highest ethical standards.

Hybrid Work Model: This role follows a hybrid schedule, with on-site work at our Westlake/Dallas, TX office Tuesday through Thursday and remote flexibility on Mondays and Fridays. This approach helps us collaborate more effectively, make decisions more quickly, and build a stronger culture, while still providing flexibility.
