Senior Director - People and Culture - Duarte - San Francisco

Job description
Our people and thriving culture are the scarcest and most precious assets we have, and their daily nourishment and ongoing enrichment are keys to our success. We are looking for a dynamic leader of People & Culture who shares our creative passion and wants to join us in scaling the most amazing place to work and grow.
Cultural Dynamo: Being a high performer yourself, you’ve had a direct hand in shaping our merit-based, highly transparent performance culture in which our employees know what’s expected of them and feel empowered to make decisions and do what’s needed to be successful. Leading by example, you exude trust and integrity. Every day you’re facilitating open, honest and frank dialogs that results in inclusive decision-making and broad buy-in across the organization. If imitation is the greatest form of flattery, then you should be feeling pretty good because more and more employees are modeling your behavior.


Learning & Development Driver: There’s a new energy and palpable excitement across the employee population. With the help of your team, you’ve taken us to the next level as a Learning & Development organization, charting career paths, mapping out training systems and implementing development plans, programs and tools across the entire company, including the executive team. Employees are feeling more engaged, more valued, learning new skills and see a clear path to their own success.

Compensation Specialist: With robust data in hand from a recent study we conducted, you will have implemented (or refined) a compensation strategy and structure in a way that builds transparency, aligns performance with rewards, and simplifies the management and communication of compensation across the organization.

Performance & Coaching Guru: Well-schooled in the art and science of performance management, you have elevated our company well beyond irregular, paper-based annual performance reviews by implementing a new tool and simple process for a matrixed organization. You’ve successfully obtained the buy-in from across the organization on the new approach. Most importantly, you will have gained the trust and confidence of the CEO, President and executive team, and will be sought out by them for counseling and coaching in their own development and that of their teams.

Organization Designer: Considering our long range growth plans, you will have developed preliminary concepts and the related implications for our future organizational structure. You will be deeply thoughtful about how we undertake any related change efforts. All of this will combine into strategic people planning for each coming year.

HR & Admin Leader: Walking the talk with your own team, you’ll have deeply engaged them in their growth, development, and connection/impact in the organization. Our human resources and administrative processes (payroll, compliance, benefits, office management, and facilities) are running flawlessly that they’ll be a model that other organizations aspire to follow.
