• Partner with leaders to build and refine clear career ladders and growth paths within their teams
• Help managers define role expectations, leveling frameworks, and promotion criteria

• Partner with leaders to improve team performance, engagement, and accountability
• Lead and support talent reviews, succession planning, and development conversations
• Identify common manager pain points and create simple tools, trainings, or frameworks to address them
• Partner closely with People Ops and Recruiting to ensure people practices scale as the business grows
