About The Position

As the People and Talent Associate, you will support Ember's continued growth and impact by helping to recruit, hire, and onboard talent, and run key people operations that keep our clinics and teams running smoothly. This is a generalist role with a strong hiring component, that reports directly to the Senior Director of People and Talent (SDPT). The most significant portion of your time will be spent recruiting staff and setting them up for success in their new roles. This will include reviewing applications, screening candidates, managing talent pipelines, and setting up comprehensive, well supported onboarding plans. You'll also have the opportunity to build relationships with promising candidates and training programs, and nurture a pipeline of talent over time. Additionally, you will help support employees across key moments in their time at Ember. This includes managing people transitions, ongoing learning and development opportunities, credentialing, and offboarding. You'll address regular human resources questions with professionalism and compassion, and ensure people-related priorities advance thoughtfully. This role is well suited for someone who loves building trusting relationships, is motivated by all things "people", and is excited to support a team advancing some of the most exciting work in mental health. You are highly motivated, driven, and organized, and are ready to channel your professional energy into a role that will evolve to meet the needs of a dynamic organization.
