Compliance: Help to ensure company policies and practices comply with federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations. Stay current on changes in employment law and advise on necessary updates to policies and procedures. Dispute Resolution and Litigation Management: Manage and resolve employment-related disputes, including conducting investigations and representing the company and/or our clients in employment-related litigation or administrative (e.g., EEOC or OSHA) proceedings. Will also manage external employment litigation counsel. Labor-Management Relations: Provide education and support as needed with managing grievances, negotiating and managing a Collective Bargaining Agreement, union avoidance strategies, and other such traditional labor law matters.

Attributes: High level of professionalism, integrity, and discretion. Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Personal Characteristics:
A servant-leader who thrives on a high-energy and high-accountability environment A no-nonsense multi-tasker, who exhibits a high degree of initiative and the ability to cut through complex problems to craft creative, pragmatic and effective solutions A disciplined and self-motivated professional with solid work habits, a driving commitment to timeliness, and a strong sense of pride in a job well-done An all-around team player who views no task as too large or too small, and who is passionate about the organization, its mission and the people it serves A true listener, who displays good judgment, inspires confidence and handles confidential matters with absolute discretion A positive and energetic person with a great sense of humor and a strong desire to help others perform and grow
