Job description

We need an Employee Relations Manager who can hit the ground running and help us deliver on ambitious goals this year. Strip away the buzzwords and here's the deal — $92,000 - $141,000, hybrid hours, and a general team at Nissan that actually hands you the keys.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare reports, summaries, and presentations for review by leadership
• Move general decisions forward when consensus stalls
• Find the data-driven workaround when the official path is blocked
• Surface risks early, loudly, and with a proposed fix attached
• Identify gaps in current procedures and recommend workable fixes
• Handle confidential information with discretion and sound judgment
• Field curveballs from Covington clients without losing the thread

What You'll Bring

• A history of leaving general processes better than you found them
• 7+ years that left you with strong instincts and few
• Hands-on experience with modern Problem Solving workflows and tooling
• Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• Experience thriving in a playfully-serious, deadline-driven setting like Nissan
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines

Nissan is a low-drama, fiercely independent Covington company that would rather earn trust slowly than buy attention quickly. We trust the manager folks closest to the customer to make the call without a committee.

Come grow with us: $92,000 - $141,000 to start, a mentor to guide, benefits to lean on, and hours flexible enough for Covington living.

We refreshed it today so candidates know the hybrid role is genuinely open.
