People Experience Specialist

Job Summary

The People Experience Specialist will provide strategic support to the people operations function at every stage of the employment lifecycle; focusing on the employee to create a positive workplace culture and experience. 

In this role, you are expected to be the "eyes and ears" for the People & Culture team, acting as an internal consultant to facilitate and influence change programs and engaging people initiatives. You will have oversight of all people operations initiatives and most times work on projects but you will own and be accountable for talent acquisition, employer branding, employee engagement, and people policy implementation.

To be successful in this role, you will have to combine being focused and looking at the bigger picture while delivering value to our employees as a specialist through the lens of a generalist. You are research and data-driven with an understanding of the design thinking concept. 

You will find this role fulfilling if you are able to engage and collaborate with stakeholders across all levels, are very creative,  always coming up with novel ideas, and are not afraid of exploring different ways of execution. It's definitely not just a sit-behind-a-laptop kind of role!

Our culture is not cliche, we put people first, dream wild and make magic every step of the way. Why wouldn’t you join us?
