Job Posting: [Confidential Los Angeles Employer]

According to an exclusive posting on the IOA Career Center, " a greater Los Angeles area client [that] highly values the Ombuds role ... [is] seeking an Ombuds equally comfortable working with front line employees and Board members." No other information regarding the organization is provided and no other posting for the position can be located online.

The posting seeks candidates with:

Direct experience in workplace alternative dispute resolution and/or related Human Resources or Employee Relations work history demonstrating a working knowledge and understanding of civil rights, related legislation and a high level of expertise in mediation and conflict resolution.

Ability to manage a program of high priority and unlimited in terms of complexity, difficulty, sensitivity and consequence whose mission is to maintain an equitable and workable balance among employee groups.

Organizational Ombuds

Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. They are accessible to a defined population and can advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from Classical Ombuds, mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which also are used widely.

Some other variants include:

Austria -- Ombudsstelle

Brazil -- Ouvidor

Croatia -- pravobranitelji

France -- médiateur/defénseur

Germany -- Ombudspersonen

Italy -- difensore

Netherlands -- ombudspersoon

Norway -- ombudet

Poland -- Rzecznik

Portugal -- provedor

Russia -- омбудсмен

Spain -- ombudsman organizacional

Sweden -- studentombud

Switzerland -- ombudsmann
