Job Description

This role leads the Employee Experience function within People Operations. The focus is simple: understand what’s happening across the workforce, identify what needs to improve, and help drive the changes that make a real difference in engagement and retention.

In this role, you’ll spend time reviewing employee feedback, attrition trends, and operational data to spot patterns and gaps. From there, you’ll work with teams across the business to turn those insights into practical solutions—whether that’s improving how we recognize employees, strengthening engagement efforts, or finding better ways to reconnect with former employees and support their return.

You’ll partner closely with Operations, Scheduling, Recruiting, and Employee Assistance to move work forward and make sure initiatives don’t stall out. Success in this role comes from being able to connect the dots, bring forward ideas, and follow through until improvements are in place and working.
