- As People Director, you'll be the architect behind that growth - helping us nurture great leaders, empower our teams, and scale our culture with intention.

- You'll partner with People Ops on performance philosophy, onboarding content, and employee experience initiatives-you bring the why and what, they ensure the how runs smoothly.
- Talent Acquisition owns recruiting and hiring operations.
- You'll partner with TA on senior hiring, interview training for managers, and workforce planning to align great talent with business growth.
- Are the kind of business partner leaders seek out-not just for answers, but for perspective.
