Employee Experience Lead

What You’ll Do

Own the Employee Experience

• Create a workplace experience that feels intentional, welcoming, and distinctly “Replit”
• Act as the day-to-day host of the office—setting the tone, energy, and standards
• Continuously gather feedback and iterate quickly to improve the in-office experience
• Manage vendors and contracts across food, facilities, and services
• Stay plugged into trends in workplace experience, hospitality, and food
• Anticipate needs before they become problems

Lead Events & Experiences

• Own the planning and execution of internal events (team lunches, demos, launches, offsites)
• Design experiences that bring builders together and strengthen culture
• Manage event logistics end-to-end (vendors, run-of-show, budgets, setup/teardown)
• Introduce new, creative event formats and continuously raise the bar on quality
• Ensure events feel seamless, intentional, and reflective of Replit’s brand

Build & Run a Best-in-Class Food Program

• Own the full food and beverage experience: meals, snacks, coffee, and everything in between
• Curate offerings that are high-quality, diverse, and genuinely exciting (not generic office snacks)
• Develop relationships with local vendors, chefs, and suppliers—bringing in unique options
• Ensure consistency in quality, presentation, and availability day-to-day
• Introduce new ideas regularly (rotating menus, themed meals, seasonal experiences)
• Manage budget thoughtfully—maximize impact per dollar without lowering the bar
• Maintain food safety and operational excellence

• Deep attention to detail and high standards for quality
• Experience managing food programs, catering, or vendor relationships
• Excellent organizational and execution skills
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building from 0 → 1
• Strong interpersonal skills—you naturally create positive, human experiences
