L&D (New Hire Experience) Lead
Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
We’re looking for a passionate innovator to take our New Hire Experience to the next level. In this highly dynamic and visible role you’ll be equal parts program manager, learning experience designer, and facilitator. Collaboration is your middle name; however, you’re still able to roll up your sleeves and be an independent self-starter when needed. It’s on us! You recognize the need to evolve experiences for new hires in a remote first hybrid work environment, and are eager to create a “beyond best practice” next practice model. No fine print here. If you're as excited as we are, please READ ON!
What You’ll Do
- Implement a new New Hire Experience in our remote first hybrid work environment, recognizing people come first. You’ll analyze the current program, and perform a needs assessment to help guide the evolution.
- Manage program logistics from start to finish, partnering cross-functionally across the People Team, and ultimately the entire organization.
- Partner with subject matter experts across Affirm in crafting new content and curriculum. You’ll facilitate and/or co-facilitate instructor led training.
- Write communications, plans, and draft other internal content related to the New Hire Experience.
- Be a “go to” Affirmer for every new hire as they ramp up in their respective role.
- Define, measure, and communicate out the program’s success metrics as it evolves.
What We Look For
- 5+ years of experience highlighting a combination of program management, instructional design, and facilitation.
- You've led onboarding processes that support a workforce that has scaled globally to over 1000 employees.
- You’ve developed and delivered curriculum and learning programs from scratch, and have partnered with subject matter specialists to do the same.
- Strong relationship-building skills to work collaboratively with partners across the organization, including new hires, of course :)
- Excellent communication skills, with an appetite for distilling sophisticated information to what matters most. Simpler is better.
- A “how can we make this better?” mentality. You recognize that “flawless” is not an end state, and continually drive for program improvement.
