About the role

Illumination Foundation seeks an Employee Relations Specialist to serve as the subject matter expert on employee relations, employment law compliance, and culture across corporate and field locations. You balance investigative rigor with coaching to empower leaders and protect the mission. The role emphasizes regular site visits, timely investigations, policy development, and training to ensure compliance with federal, state, local, and site requirements, including California wage and hour law.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
