SafetyWing (YC W18) is seeking a Head of Talent Growth to help shape the future of our organization by aligning people development with our strategic direction. This is a unique role for someone who thrives at the intersection of training and coaching, organizational design, and high-level problem solving.

You’ll work closely with the founders to ensure our people systems and development strategies support our long-term vision.

• Create feedback loops to regularly gather insights from team members and use them to guide improvements in team experience and leadership
• Designing and running team-wide workshops on feedback, collaboration, and leadership
• Coaching team members to co-create personal growth paths aligned with our scale and team goals
• Collaborating cross-functionally to unblock people-related bottlenecks
