About the Role

We're hiring someone to lead Employee Programs based in our San Francisco office.

You'll own new hire onboarding end to end, designing and running programs that get people productive fast and fluent in how we work. You'll design and confidently facilitate the in-person programming that makes this happen, in our SF office and for our distributed teams, and build lightweight tools to track whether it's actually working.

You'll partner with leadership and cross-functional teams to build training that supports competencies that scale as the company grows.

Responsibilties

Own end-to-end design of new hire onboarding, including in-person programming in our SF office (e.g. culture and communication) and support individual team onsites (twice annually per team)

Build structured onboarding curriculum covering role ramp-up, cross-functional context, roadmap understanding, and how decisions get made

Measure onboarding effectiveness (time to productivity, ramp feedback, manager input) and iterate each cohort

Collaborate with our operations team to contribute content and programming for company-wide offsites

Design and facilitate a new manager training program covering core management skills and how management works here specifically

Own personal growth and upskilling programs for employees who need targeted skill development: identify gaps, build or source training, track progress

Partner with managers and leadership to spot where upskilling closes a real performance or capability gap

Confidently facilitate large-group sessions, comfortable running a room for onboarding cohorts, manager training, or team onsites, not just designing the content

Use AI-forward, no-code tools to build lightweight internal tools that track ramp progress and distribute onboarding content automatically, reducing manual, one-off work

Requirements

Have 5+ years in internal events, employee experience, learning & development or People programs at a high growth startup

Are an exceptional communicator, both written and verbal

Confident public speaker and experienced facilitator: can run sessions for large or mixed-seniority groups and hold a room

Experience building new manager or leadership training programs

Have strong operational instincts and excellent project management skills

Care deeply about creating memorable employee experiences

Think in systems and continuously improve programs based on feedback
