  • The Associate Manager, Talent & Employee Relations is the execution and coordination layer for two core functions: Employee Relations and Learning & Development.

Responsibilities

  • Maintains ER case queue integrity, ensuring all active cases are documented to standard and SLAs are current; flags aging cases, missing documentation, or escalation criteria to the HRBP.
