Your new role...

We are looking for an Investigator to join our Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA) team based out of the UK.

People Relations is a Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Centre of Expertise comprised of a team of seasoned workplace investigators.

Reporting to the Senior Director, People Relations, EMEA, the Investigator will be a key point of contact for our People and Culture Partners and staff based in the EMEA region.

You will personally conduct workplace investigations across all business units, including local productions and, as such, your work will bring you into contact with anyone from WBD staff and production crew to members of the public.

You will identify trends related to claims and make recommendations to address issues identified including partnering with the WBD Diversity Equity and Inclusion team and recommending training opportunities, culture enhancements, or changes to workplace policies or protocols.

The ideal candidate must demonstrate an ability to investigate and write reports in English language. Familiarity with relevant EMEA region codes, protocols and local rules around workplace investigations (including, for example, the UK ACAS Guide to Conducting Workplace Investigations) is also desirable.

The role is remote with travel, as required, to our various office locations. Flexible availability is required as Global colleagues and partners will be located in various countries and time zones.

Your Role Accountabilities...
  • Manage and directly conduct investigations in EMEA adhering to the People Relations investigation process and principles - striving for consistency across Business Units, productions and territories

  • Be able to digest large amounts of data and debrief on summary findings and/or recommendations
  • Enter cases into the case management system on a timely basis and comply with related requests from People Relations Strategy and Operations colleagues.
  • Liaise with local stakeholders on the sourcing, creation and/or coordination of training sessions. On occasion may be asked to facilitate ad hoc training sessions.
  • Represent People Relations on the Threat Management Unit
  • Stay current on changes to local laws and ordinances, local and EMEA employment law and best practices across the various countries in which you investigate.
Qualifications & Experience...
  • Bachelor's degree required
  • Language Requirement: Fluency in verbal and written English. Fluency in another relevant European language highly desirable (with preference given to Polish language)
  • Demonstrated hands-on workplace investigations experience in a confidential/sensitive setting, ideally in Equal Employment Opportunity Policy-type cases (i.e. Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation).
  • Demonstrated progressive Human Resources management or employment law experience
  • Must have operative knowledge of laws governing workplace investigations and discrimination law in at least one relevant EMEA territory.
  • Must be able to demonstrate operative knowledge of Human Resources policies, practices, and procedures
