Our Employment Investigators demonstrate a high degree of empathy balanced against an ability to provide direct feedback and confront witnesses with difficult information. You must be able to articulate findings to the business in the form of oral and/or written summaries and conclusions so that long-term solutions can be developed and applied. As an Employment Investigator, you will also have the opportunity to deliver compliance education programs and training designed proactively to address workplace issues.

7. Provide timely communication to all relevant parties throughout the investigations process, including responding to case escalations.
8. Remain respectful and empathetic in the face of difficult and uncomfortable situations surrounding an investigation.

Minimum Qualifications:

1. Experience conducting investigations that will withstand legal scrutiny in multiple jurisdictions.
2. Experience working independently, acting on priorities and exercising proven judgement.
3. Demonstrate collaborative relationship management skills in a highly cross-functional environment.
4. Experience documenting investigations findings and recommendations.
5. Experience presenting findings and recommendations to leadership or those with dissenting opinions.
6. Problem-solving, analytical, critical thinking skills and high degree of comfort working with data.
7. Flexible and adaptable to rapidly changing environment.

Preferred Qualifications:
