• Utilize investigation data to provide strategic insights that inform leadership decisions, mitigate risks, and improve workplace culture;
• Consult with in-house attorneys as needed to ensure compliance and consistent interpretation of relevant laws and regulations;
• Drive continuous improvement of Workplace Investigations and participate in cross-functional projects as needed.

• You balance speed and quality and have a knack for prioritizing work even when two matters appear to be similar on the surface;
• You strive for operational excellence in case management. You are highly organized, detail oriented, and able to track and manage multiple cases/projects simultaneously;
• You excel at stakeholder management. You have experience managing relationships with a diverse group of stakeholders in various levels and functions;
