Lead highly sensitive employee relations investigations with sound interviewing and documentation practices
Serve as a field-based HR partner across multiple school locations with regular onsite presence
Manage complex cases with discretion, strong organization, and effective prioritization
Build trusted, collaborative relationships while applying policy fairly and escalating issues when appropriate
