The Challenge to Solve

Build and scale a global employee relations function that helps managers navigate complex people challenges while ensuring consistent, fair, and compliant practices across Slice.
The Role

As Slice's first dedicated Employee Relations Lead, you'll own employee relations across our global workforce and serve as the company's subject matter expert on investigations, performance management, policy interpretation, and complex employee matters. You'll partner closely with managers, People Business Partners, Legal, and Operations leaders to navigate workplace investigations, performance concerns, employee complaints, accommodations, and terminations. You'll also play a key role in building the processes, playbooks, and reporting that help us scale employee relations consistently across the business. This role has a strong US focus, including support for our warehouse population, while partnering with People Business Partners and managers across Canada, the UK, North Macedonia, and Kosovo to bring consistency to employee relations practices globally. While this role is remote, candidates must be able to work primarily East Coast business hours.

Key focus areas include:

• Leading workplace investigations involving harassment, discrimination, misconduct, policy violations, grievances, and other employee concerns.
• Coaching managers through performance management, performance improvement plans, terminations, and difficult employee situations.
• Partnering with Legal and People Operations on workplace safety, accommodations, injury reporting, retaliation concerns, and other compliance-related matters.
• Building employee relations processes, playbooks, templates, case management practices, and reporting.
• Supporting handbook reviews, policy updates, and policy interpretation across multiple regions.
• Partnering with People Business Partners and leaders to identify risks, improve manager capability, and strengthen employee experience.
• Using employee relations data and trends to proactively identify issues and recommend solutions.
• Supporting restructuring and workforce change initiatives in partnership with People leadership and Legal.
