You’re a bit of a data and communications geek with a penchant for using all available channels to make even the most complex of concepts easier to understand. You have a growth mindset -- you’re excited to create something new and you’re great at bringing others along with you on this journey.
In this role you will have the opportunity to: Lead the development and implementation of a comprehensive diversity, inclusion and belonging strategy and framework by assessing needs, building and facilitating learning solutions and support resources, and partnering with internal Hubbers.

Establish a framework for measuring the impact and effectiveness of belonging, inclusion, and diversity initiatives, and their overall impact on culture and the Hubber experience. Provide external thought leadership by representing GitHub at conferences and client meetings, and educating the marketplace on effective strategies that drive diversity and inclusion. Implement and scale initiatives globally across a large, diverse, and multifunctional organization. Inspire and connect people to drive effective teamwork, communication, collaboration and commitment across multiple teams and organizations with competing priorities and initiatives.
Minimum Qualifications:
Demonstrated understanding and application of the concepts related to diversity, belonging, inclusion, as well as the contexts and cultures within organizations that impact the implementation and management of effective change efforts.
