Employee Relations Partner & HR for HR
About the role
The Employee Relations (ER) Partner is a hands-on, execution-focused role within the People Team, responsible for running workplace investigations and resolving employee relations matters across Rubrik’s three organisations: R&D, GTM and G&A. This role serves as a trusted advisor to Business Partners, Legal, People leaders and managers, ensuring employee concerns are addressed consistently, objectively, and in alignment with company policies and employment laws. Working with our Business Partners, Legal and People leaders, you will conduct thorough, impartial investigations, provide expert ER guidance, support consistent, risk-informed decision making and deliver clear, well-documented outcomes.
This role also serves as our “HR for HR”: the trusted, impartial point of contact for ER matters involving members of the People Team, providing independent oversight, ensuring those matters are handled with objectivity and confidentiality. You will work to the shared ER case methodology, documentation standards and governance set centrally by the People Team, helping us deliver a consistent employee and manager experience across every function and region.
This role helps ensure Rubrik maintains a fair and legally compliant workplace by:
- Delivering objective, high-quality workplace investigations
- Providing expert guidance on complex employee relations matters
- Driving consistency in employee relations practices and outcomes
- Providing insights that inform policy, process and leadership decisions
Reporting line: Senior Director HRBP & dotted line into our Internal Employment Counsel. This is a US-focused role, with opportunities to be involved in or drive aspects of our international ER cases.
What You'll Do
Investigations and case execution
- Own the end-to-end execution of workplace investigations across R&D, GTM and G&A, including allegations of harassment, discrimination, retaliation and policy violations: scoping, planning, neutral fact-finding interviews, credibility assessments, findings and recommendations
- Collaborate with Internal Legal to develop and execute investigation plans, and recommend appropriate resolutions to Business Partners, People leaders and other stakeholders
- Act as liaison to external counsel and investigators on HR-related investigations
- Produce clear, accurate investigation reports and case documentation to the standard set by the People Team’s central ER framework
- Facilitate and support interactive processes with employees seeking a reasonable medical accommodation
- Contribute ER input to performance and separation matters, supporting consistent, well-documented decisions and helping to mitigate risk
- Use AI tools (e.g., Claude) to speed up investigation work: drafting investigation plans and interview outlines, summarizing evidence, and structuring reports. A human always verifies accuracy, credibility findings, and conclusions.
