Job Summary:
At Nelson-Jameson, we approach Human Resources a little differently. Our Employee Experience (EX) team focuses on serving people first—ensuring employees feel respected, heard, and supported while balancing the needs of the business.

• Identify opportunities to improve processes, increase efficiency, and strengthen employee relations and benefits practices.
• Collaborate with the Employee Experience team to support employees, navigate challenges, and continuously develop knowledge of employee relations, benefits, and employment law.
