About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Partner directly with EPD managers and leaders as a trusted, hands-on advisor on org health, team dynamics, and performance
Approach AI as a core productivity partner and proactively use AI to automate scheduling and streamline communications, research, and other daily workflows rather than defaulting to manual processes out of habit or hesitation
Diagnose organizational health by looking for patterns across teams using survey data, 1:1s, and other signals and translate insights into concrete, prioritized action plans for leaders
Design and run people programs end-to-end (e.g., manager enablement, onboarding, engagement-survey action planning), driving stakeholder alignment and follow-through to ensure programs actually change behavior
Coach managers and executive leaders through growth, reorgs, and performance conversations, giving direct and pragmatic feedback including pushing back when needed
Support engagement survey programs, helping leaders interpret results and align on the highest-priority actions
Build and scale manager enablement programs (onboarding, training, community) that create leverage for leaders across the company
