Role

Who you are

  • This is a highly cross-functional role ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, brings operational rigor, and is passionate about creating clarity and structure around complex, global challenges
  • 7+ years of experience in People Operations, Program Management, or a similar role within a high-growth, fast-paced environment
  • A proven track record of leading complex, cross-functional initiatives with strong stakeholder alignment and execution from start to finish
  • A systems-oriented mindset, with the ability to design scalable programs that connect strategy, structure, and employee experience
  • Exceptional project management and communication skills, especially in driving clarity, alignment, and change across diverse teams and executive audiences
  • A high degree of ownership, initiative, and adaptability — you thrive in ambiguity and consistently move work forward with autonomy

Desirable

  • Experience partnering with founders to shape people strategies that drive performance, engagement, and organizational success
  • Background in org design, alumni networks, or mobility

What the job involves

  • You’ll track impact in real time, using data and feedback loops to continuously refine and improve outcomes
  • Lead bi-annual company-wide reorganizations and org design efforts in close partnership with senior leadership — driving the strategy, execution, and all related communications
  • Build our mobility program, overseeing international transfers, crafting policy, and ensuring a seamless, high-touch employee experience across global moves
  • Level up our alumni community, the Departure Lounge — building programs and events that keep former Applied employees connected, engaged, and part of our extended team long after they’ve moved on
  • Own and scale our international site lead program, serving as the connective tissue across global offices and elevating on-the-ground insights to shape company-wide People strategy
  • Build scalable, global infrastructure to operationalize programs while maintaining a high-quality, employee-first experience

Our take

Autonomous vehicles present a lot of challenging problems to engineers, particularly in terms of safety and reliability, and testing and development can be infamously slow. Applied Intuition provides software to run simulations and tests for autonomous vehicles more quickly and effectively, speeding up the development and launch of AVs for multiple industries.

With big companies such as Tesla and Google focused on developing automation, Applied Intuition has the scope to provide the software that makes it a reality. The company’s suite of simulation, validation, and drive log management software aids in the more efficient deployment of autonomous vehicles, with companies such as Toyota, Nissan, and General Motors relying on its solutions.

As the autonomous vehicles market accelerates, Applied Intuition is well set for growth, especially as it continues to expand its capabilities. Notable developments include the acquisitions of CarSim, Scenebox and Embark Trucks, as well as partnerships with AMBA and Valeo. All these efforts seek to bolster the company's offering towards supporting the faster and safer deployment of AVs.
