About The Position
WorkOS is seeking an Employee Programs Lead to be based in their San Francisco office. This role will be responsible for the end-to-end ownership of new hire onboarding, designing and implementing programs to accelerate productivity and understanding of company culture. The lead will also design and facilitate in-person programming for both SF-based and distributed teams, and develop lightweight tools to track program effectiveness. Additionally, the role involves partnering with leadership to build scalable training programs, designing and facilitating new manager training, and owning employee growth and upskilling initiatives.
