The opportunity

We need an Employee Relations Manager, full stop, and Civic Innovation Lab is willing to back the right Growth Mindset person with $137,000 - $222,000 and trust. A freelance Employee Relations Manager post in Berkeley that values Strategic Planning over 8 years, pays $137,000 - $222,000, and never boxes you in.

Key Responsibilities

  • Trim Self-Motivation processes that have quietly outlived their purpose
  • Show up for the unglamorous general maintenance nobody volunteers for
  • Steer Civic Innovation Lab's Goal Setting roadmap with both nerve and humility
  • Step in on additional duties that support the wider Civic Innovation Lab mission
  • Hold the line on quality when deadlines start whispering shortcuts

What You'll Bring

  • Hands-on general experience that holds up to follow-up questions
  • Real curiosity about why Civic Innovation Lab customers do what they do
  • Strong working knowledge of People Management and Project Management
  • A Berkeley network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
  • A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English

What began as two engineers and a whiteboard in Berkeley is now Civic Innovation Lab, a customer-centric team obsessed with getting Collaboration right. We believe the best general decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.

We back $137,000 - $222,000 with a growth ladder, a mentor invested in your Project Management, and benefits that travel with you across Berkeley, CA.

Our Berkeley team is currently shortlisting candidates for this position.
