What the job involves
- As Senior Manager of People Experience, you’ll own the strategy, operations, and execution of the programs and workplaces that define how employees experience our company every day
- At our current growth stage (Series C, scaling from ~500 to 1000 employees), you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how our culture evolves and how we create a connected, engaging environment across distributed teams and three hub offices (NYC, SF, and Seattle)
- You’ll set the vision for major company and department offsites, lead engagement initiatives across hubs, and oversee the design and operations of our physical workspaces to ensure they foster collaboration and belonging
- You’ll also manage our real estate portfolio and workplace services, ensuring our spaces scale efficiently and reflect our mission and values
- Partnering closely with People Operations, Total Rewards, and Leadership, you’ll ensure our employee experience strategy is inspiring, data-informed, and directly tied to business outcomes
- Develop and execute the overarching People Experience strategy that strengthens engagement, belonging, and connection as we scale
- Partner cross-functionally to align People Experience with operations, compliance, systems, and total rewards
- Use engagement data, employee feedback, and external benchmarks to measure impact and refine programs
- Stay on top of industry trends and proactively bring forward new ideas that keep us competitive and innovative
- Manage and mentor a small but mighty People Experience team
- Design and continuously improve lifecycle programs (onboarding, engagement, recognition, transitions, and offboarding) that scale effectively
- Build manager playbooks, toolkits, and guidance that empower leaders to deliver strong employee experiences on their teams
- Own the vision, design, and execution of company-wide and departmental offsites that align teams, build culture, and reinforce our mission
- Lead hub-based employee engagement strategies across NYC, SF, and Seattle, ensuring consistency and local relevance
- Oversee workplace services across all three hubs, ensuring seamless operations, hospitality, and employee support in each location
- Manage our real estate portfolio and lead the design, buildout, and maintenance of physical spaces that foster collaboration and belonging
- Partner with internal and external stakeholders (e.g., IT, Facilities vendors, Finance) to ensure spaces reflect our culture and scale efficiently
Our take
Mental health issues affect about 20% of Americans, so there’s an immense need for qualified mental healthcare in the US. However the vast majority of therapists don’t accept insurance due to the prohibitive administrative workload involved. This leaves therapy out of reach for many Americans. So it’s no surprise that the Grow Therapy platform has seen skyrocketing popularity since it was founded in 2020.
Grow Therapy helps therapists open their own in-network practices, providing the technology, support, and resources to tackle the extra operational workload that would allow them to take insurance. It’s live across a number of states, and works in partnership with all the major insurance payers including Humana, Aetna and Cigna.
The company is competing with larger rivals like Alma and Quartet Health, but this should be a big enough market for several major participants. Grow has secured good funding which supports the launch of its enhanced measurement-informed care system, which will help improve the care experience for clients and providers and make value-based behavioral care accessible for more patients.
