About The Position

We are seeking a People Program Manager to build, operationalize, and scale high-impact people programs. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a mid-sized environment—where structure is still evolving and there’s strong ownership, visibility, and influence. You will play a key role in shaping the employee experience, partnering closely with People leadership and business leaders to implement programs that support growth, engagement, and performance.

Requirements

• 4–7 years of experience in People Operations, HR, or Program Management
• Experience working in a mid-sized or high-growth company (100–500 employees preferred)
• Demonstrated ability to both build and run programs (not just design)
• Strong project management and prioritization skills in a fast-moving environment
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and building structure from scratch
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve core people programs across the employee lifecycle (onboarding, engagement, performance, development, and retention)
• Build processes that bring consistency while maintaining flexibility for a growing organization
• Identify gaps and proactively design solutions that scale with company growth
• Partner with leaders on talent planning, internal mobility, and development pathways
• Equip managers with tools, resources, and guidance to lead effectively
• Support organizational changes such as team scaling, restructuring, or new leadership layers
• Drive adoption of new programs, policies, and tools with clear communication and training
• Track key metrics (engagement, retention, performance, diversity, etc.)
• Deliver insights and recommendations to People leadership and executives
• Continuously improve programs based on data and feedback

Benefits

• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision benefits 100% paid for by the company
• Additional benefits : 401k (+ 50% company match up to 6% of pay), FSA, HSA, life insurance, and more
• Our Perks: Free daily lunch, ‘No meeting Fridays’, unlimited PTO, casual dress code
• Compensation Components: Competitive base salaries, generous pre-IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance, and (coming soon!) annual bonuses
• Team Growth: 250 employees and counting across 5 global offices
