About the role

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary on-site lead for the SF hub, owning the day-to-day operations, budget, and experience, and partnering with IT, People, Recruiting, Finance, and vendors to hold it to that standard
  • Design and run employee engagement programs with clear intent: offsites, travel, onboarding experiences, and recurring in-office rituals that connect to company priorities
  • Own the travel program end-to-end: vendor selection, rollout, documentation, and continuous improvement
  • Lead initiatives from concept through execution and iteration, bringing structure to ambiguity without waiting for perfect direction
  • Manage vendors and budgets with strong service quality and financial discipline
  • Develop the feedback loops and measurement systems that make intangible experiences legible: synthesize what you learn into clear priorities, make changes, and track whether they held

Requirements

  • 6+ years in workplace ops, employee experience, or people ops in a fast-paced environment, with a track record of owning programs from idea through iteration
  • Strong operational instincts: responsive, organized, and wired to build systems — nothing falls through the cracks twice
  • Strong experience instincts: you notice what feels off, you know why it matters, and you adjust quickly
  • Ability to design backward from outcomes and articulate the purpose behind the work
  • Comfort working with cross-functional stakeholders, including EPD teams and senior leaders
  • Experience managing travel programs, offsites, and vendor relationships with budget accountability
