What is a people manager?

People Managers are professionals responsible for overseeing, guiding, and supporting a team of employees within an organization. Their primary role is to foster a positive work environment, facilitate professional growth, and ensure their team meets organizational goals. People Managers handle tasks such as hiring, performance evaluations, conflict resolution, and employee development, acting as a bridge between staff and upper management. Effective People Managers combine leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills to help their teams succeed.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a people manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a People Manager, you need a solid understanding of personnel management, organizational policies, and often a background in human resources or business administration. Familiarity with HR information systems (HRIS), performance management tools, and basic data analysis is typically required. Exceptional interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution abilities set outstanding people managers apart. These competencies are crucial for fostering team engagement, driving performance, and ensuring alignment with organizational goals.

What are some common challenges people managers face when leading diverse teams, and how can they effectively address them?

People Managers often encounter challenges such as managing differing communication styles, resolving conflicts, and ensuring inclusivity within diverse teams. To address these, it's important to foster open communication, provide regular feedback, and cultivate an environment where team members feel valued and heard. Utilizing structured one-on-ones, promoting team-building activities, and investing in diversity and inclusion training can also help People Managers lead more effectively and create a cohesive, high-performing team.

Job description

Your role in our mission

As our Program Manager, People Programs, you will design, launch, and scale programs that strengthen our workplace culture, foster growth, and drive retention. You will drive the day to day operations of core People programs—focusing on onboarding, performance management, engagement, and talent development. Partnering closely with HR Business Partners (HRBPs) and business leaders, you will help translate organizational needs into structured programs that support employees across their entire employee lifecycle.

How you'll make an impact
  • Drive Employee Feedback & Action: Manage employee listening strategies (engagement surveys, pulse checks, exit insights). Translate complex survey data into actionable strategies for executive leadership and people managers.

  • Optimize Onboarding & Hybrid Connection: Refine onboarding workflows and resources to ensure new hybrid and remote hires are supported, informed, and connected from day one.

  • Enable Performance & Growth: Develop and maintain company-wide performance system. Partner with HRBPs to facilitate seamless performance cycles (OKRs, quarterly performance reviews, calibrations). Create lightweight toolkits to help managers give actionable feedback.

  • Scale Manager & Team Enablement: Identify core capabilities gaps alongside HRBPs to design and deliver practical manager workshops, learning tracks, and career pathing resources.

  • Measure Program Effectiveness: Establish clear program success metrics (participation, eNPS, retention, cycle completion).

Skills that will help you thrive
  • Experience & Education: 5+ years in HR, People Operations, or Employee Program Management, with 2+ years directly involved in engagement, performance management, employee experience, or talent development programs. Bachelor’s degree required.

  • HRBP & Leadership Collaboration: Proven ability to partner effectively with HRBPs and other People Team leaders as well as coordinating across company leadership to execute programs.

  • Performance & Goal Systems: Direct experience coordinating performance management processes, calibration sessions, or goal-setting frameworks (e.g., Lattice, Culture Amp, Betterworks).

  • End-to-End Ownership: Proven track record of taking program concepts from initial design to full rollout, including change management and communications.

  • Analytical & Empathetic: Skilled at identifying human trends behind raw survey data and converting friction points into practical solutions.

  • Strong Communication & Facilitation Skills: Comfortable leading manager workshops, and writing clear internal communications.

  • Inclusion Mindset: Experience embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion principles into program design and supporting ERGs.

Resources to help you prosper
  • A connected experience: We prioritize high-touch collaboration and flexibility. Whether you are working from our San Francisco or Phoenix offices or joining us as a fully remote team member, we provide the digital-first tools and intentional culture to keep you synced and supported
  • Invested in your future: A competitive salary and a 401(k) with a 5% company match to help you build long-term financial security
  • Holistic well-being: We provide the resources you need to thrive, from flexible time off and paid parental leave to an annual wellness allowance and comprehensive health coverage
  • Professional & personal growth: Take advantage of a suite of premium perks, including Udemy access, childcare assistance, pet insurance, and a bevy of additional savings through Beneplace
