$125,0000

An established distribution and manufacturing organization is seeking an Employee Relations Manager to partner with managers and operational leaders in a fast-paced, hands-on environment. This role will focus on employee relations, manager coaching, conflict resolution, performance management, and fostering a positive, accountable workplace culture. The ideal candidate will bring approximately five years of relevant HR experience, preferably in manufacturing, distribution, or a similar operational setting.

The right candidate will be a confident, approachable, and resilient HR professional with strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to handle sensitive employee matters with discretion. Responsibilities will include managing workplace concerns, conducting investigations, coaching managers through difficult conversations, addressing performance issues, and ensuring consistent application of company policies. Knowledge of California employment laws and employee relations best practices is highly desirable.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys working directly with frontline employees and leadership in a casual, operational environment rather than a traditional corporate setting.
