People Business Partner (Senior/Staff)

Monarch is a powerful, all-in-one personal finance platform designed to help make the complexity of finances feel simple again. Since launching in 2021, we’ve become the top-recommended personal finance app by users and experts. Our goal? To take the stress out of finances so our members can focus on what truly matters.

We are a team of do-ers led by experienced entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping our members reach their financial goals. We are hyper focused on building a product people love and continuing to evolve based on user feedback.

As a fully remote company (even before COVID!), we welcome applicants from almost anywhere. Our team collaborates synchronously mostly from 9 AM – 2 PM PT and embraces asynchronous work to stay connected across time zones.

Join us on our mission to transform lives by simplifying money, together.

The Role:

We're hiring a People Business Partner to lead the programs that make Monarch a world-class place to grow and lead. This role will focus on manager enablement, learning & development, employee engagement, internal mobility, culture-building, and company-wide people programs.

You’ll work closely with department leaders, the broader People team, and the executive team to drive clarity, connection, and capability across the company. This is a high-impact, strategic and execution focused role with room to scale.

• Engagement, Culture & People Programs

  • Own quarterly engagement surveys (eNPS + pulse); drive action plans with teams

  • Help reinforce our remote-first, async-first culture through documentation, programs, and ongoing rituals
