Role
Who you are
- Collaboration is your middle name; however, you’re still able to roll up your sleeves and be an independent self-starter when needed
- You've managed and scaled Talent Management teams that support a growing global workforce for 2000+ employees. You’ve leveraged Workday to enhance an understanding of the internal talent marketplace and scale processes effectively
- 8+ years of experience highlighting a combination of experience in talent management strategy and execution in a dynamic, high-growth organization
- You have designed, developed and scaled a variety of talent management practices such as performance management, career development programs, succession planning
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a data-driven and evidence-based approach to decision-making and influencing
- A track record of designing solutions that deliver business impact and positive ROI for the organization
- Strong relationship-building skills to work collaboratively with partners across the organization
- Deep understanding of progressive approaches to talent management and experience designing innovative practices to advance an organization’s talent strategy
- 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 “perfect” is not an end state, and continually drive for program improvement
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a passionate innovator to help scale our Talent Management team
- In this highly dynamic and visible role you’ll be equal parts strategist, program manager, practice and process designer and team leader
- Lead and grow our Talent Management efforts focused on developing equitable processes and practices that allow Affirm to ensure we’re prepared with “the right talent at the right time for the right role” regardless of where employees are in their careers, in the organization, or in the world!
- You will be a driving force, while partnering with the People & Organizational Success leadership team to ensure that we are creating an integrated, inclusive talent ecosystem
- Build and scale equitable talent management practices in our remote-first work environment, recognizing people come first. Your initial needs analysis will help guide program scope and design
- Lead the design and execution of talent processes such as goal setting, performance management, promotions, feedback etc. to ensure they are data-driven and aligned to ongoing business needs
- Evolve Affirm’s talent management frameworks and evaluation tools
- Research trends and changes in workforce management to develop effective, inclusive, and equitable talent management strategies
- Ensure practices are integrated with other People processes across the full employee lifecycle
- Define and track success measures for talent management programs including change management and business outcomes
- Stay informed on the latest thinking on performance management, skill and competency frameworks and practices, to increase the impact of our own strategies
- Partner cross-functionally across the People Team, and ultimately the entire organization to drive future talent program opportunities. This includes collaborating with subject matter experts across Affirm in crafting new content and curriculum
- Define, measure, and communicate out the team’s success metrics
Our take
Affirm offers point-of-sale loans to consumers, working with merchants like Shopify, KAYAK, and Walmart. Buy now, pay later transactions have grown in popularity in recent years, and this business is tapping into the market with a totally different approach to credit - by delivering the Affirm card, the first US debit card with the option to pay-over-time.
Serving over 21 million consumers and over 300,000 merchants, the company offers flexible payback options ranging from 3 to 36 months. The interest rates run between 0% and 30%, so, while they are not necessarily the cheapest option, Affirm prides itself on having no fees for late payments, no hidden charges, and total transparency about what people will pay before they take out a loan.
Affirm collects payments from the customers and pays the merchants directly, shouldering the risk itself. The company has boosted its market share, expanding its availability beyond the US to include most of Canada, and continues to launch new features and create new partnerships towards bettering its offering.
