Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Upstart as an employer.

What you need

  • 10+ years of experience across employee experience, internal communications, enterprise program management, People/HR programs, organizational change, or a related field.
  • A track record of owning complex, enterprise-wide programs that affect a broad employee population and require alignment across senior, cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Exceptional strategic and systems thinking to address ambiguous problems and develop clear recommendations.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills to present complex ideas clearly to senior leaders.
  • Strong influence and relationship-building skills, with the ability to negotiate and challenge partners as needed.
  • Comfort using quantitative and qualitative data to identify patterns and recommend actions.

Nice to have

  • Leading performance management, compensation, employee listening, or other enterprise People programs.
  • Driving employee adoption or behavior change related to AI, technology, or new ways of working.
  • Designing an operating model or enablement system for employee resource groups or volunteer-led programs.
  • Experience in fast-moving, founder-led, technology, fintech, or highly regulated environments.
  • Experience across multiple disciplines such as internal communications, HR/People programs, enterprise program management, change management, learning, or people analytics.

What you get

  • Competitive compensation, including base pay, bonus opportunities, and annual equity grants that vest quarterly.
  • Retirement benefits with a company match of $2 for every $1 contributed, up to $15,000 annually.
  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) with discounted stock purchase options for eligible employees.
  • Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, vision, and wellness resources.
  • Health Savings Account contributions for eligible plans.
  • Income protection benefits including life insurance and disability coverage.

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of the technology stack or tools used in the role.
  • The position is remote but requires occasional in-person collaboration, which may not suit all candidates.
  • The role is described as an individual contributor position, which may not appeal to those seeking managerial responsibilities.
