Job description

About WorkOS

WorkOS builds modern developer tools and APIs that make it easy for companies to become Enterprise Ready. Our platform powers authentication, identity, authorization, and other critical infrastructure that developers need to securely scale their products to large organizations.

We recently raised a $100M Series C, valuing the company at $2B, led by Meritech and Sapphire with participation from Greenoaks, Craft, Abstract, and Audacious. WorkOS powers enterprise features for many of the fastest-growing AI companies, including OpenAI, Cursor, and Perplexity, Sierra, and Plaid.

As AI reshapes software, WorkOS is at the frontier of Human and Agent Authentication, Identity, and Access Control helping companies answer a new critical question: who are your agents, and what are they allowed to do? Our fast-growing customer base includes hundreds of modern software companies building the next generation of enterprise-ready products.

About the Role

We're hiring someone to lead Employee Programs based in our San Francisco office.

You'll own new hire onboarding end to end, designing and running programs that get people productive fast and fluent in how we work. You'll design and confidently facilitate the in-person programming that makes this happen, in our SF office and for our distributed teams, and build lightweight tools to track whether it's actually working.

You’ll partner with leadership and cross-functional teams to build training that supports competencies that scale as the company grows.

Responsibilties

• Own end-to-end design of new hire onboarding, including in-person programming in our SF office (e.g. culture and communication) and support individual team onsites (twice annually per team)
• Build structured onboarding curriculum covering role ramp-up, cross-functional context, roadmap understanding, and how decisions get made
• Measure onboarding effectiveness (time to productivity, ramp feedback, manager input) and iterate each cohort
• Collaborate with our operations team to contribute content and programming for company-wide offsites
• Design and facilitate a new manager training program covering core management skills and how management works here specifically
• Own personal growth and upskilling programs for employees who need targeted skill development: identify gaps, build or source training, track progress
• Partner with managers and leadership to spot where upskilling closes a real performance or capability gap
• Confidently facilitate large-group sessions, comfortable running a room for onboarding cohorts, manager training, or team onsites, not just designing the content
• Use AI-forward, no-code tools to build lightweight internal tools that track ramp progress and distribute onboarding content automatically, reducing manual, one-off work

Requirements

• Have 5+ years in internal events, employee experience, learning & development or People programs at a high growth startup
• Are an exceptional communicator, both written and verbal
• Confident public speaker and experienced facilitator: can run sessions for large or mixed-seniority groups and hold a room
• Experience building new manager or leadership training programs
• Have strong operational instincts and excellent project management skills
• Care deeply about creating memorable employee experiences
• Think in systems and continuously improve programs based on feedback
• This is an in-person role, alongside building community
