Responsibilities

Role Design and Career Architecture
  • Partner with Heads of Departments and other functional leaders to continuously redesign role charters as AI capabilities evolve — translating "what this job is" from quarter to quarter
  • Own the career ladder framework across the company: leveling criteria, competency models, and promotion readiness standards that reflect AI-augmented expectations
  • Build the internal mobility model — how people move across squads, functions, and levels as the org reshapes
  • Coach employees and managers through career transitions from traditional to AI-augmented roles
  •  
    Performance Management
  • Own the end-to-end performance cycle — framework design, calibration processes, 360 review facilitation, and manager tooling
  • Partner with the SVP of People and HR Team on performance calibration across functions, ensuring consistency of the bar
  • Build the mechanisms that surface promotion readiness, performance risk, and development needs in a repeatable, data-informed way

  • Learning, Enablement, and AI Upskilling
  • Design and run the AI upskilling strategy — how every Artera employee, across every function, raises their AI proficiency quarter over quarter
  • Build programs (not courses) — learning experiences that produce measurable productivity gains, not completion certificates
  • Partner with the Internal Knowledge and Tools Squad to operationalize AI-delivered skills assessments, personalized learning paths, and training content
  • Design the onboarding program so new hires reach their first meaningful deliverable in under four weeks
  •  
    Manager Enablement
  • Own new-manager onboarding and ongoing manager training — from first-time leads through senior directors
  • Build the change management playbooks Artera leaders use when org design, roles, or tooling shift
  • Equip managers to run great 1:1s, deliver feedback, coach through AI-driven change, and own their team's health
  •  
    Operating Rhythm
  • Own the monthly Talent and AI Enablement Review, inspecting AI proficiency, training impact, ramp time, manager effectiveness, and productivity gains with rotating leadership attendance
  • Contribute talent and enablement inputs to the Quarterly People Operating Review with the CEO and ELT
  • Bring a data-informed lens to everything — if it doesn't move a metric, it's not worth building
  • Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in talent development, organizational development, L&D, or performance management, ideally with exposure to high-growth and/or AI-native companies
  • Personal, daily fluency with AI tools (Claude, Claude Code, or similar) — you don't just talk about AI-augmented work, you live it in your own workflows
  • Proven track record designing career ladders, competency models, or leveling frameworks from scratch or through significant overhaul
  • Hands-on ownership of a full performance management cycle — including calibration, 360s, and manager enablement
  • Experience building learning and enablement programs that produced measurable business outcomes, not just training completion
  • Track record partnering cross-functionally with senior leaders (VP/C-level) as a trusted thought partner, not an order-taker
  • Strong systems thinking — you see role design, career growth, performance, and enablement as one connected system
  • Excellent judgment, discretion, and written communication; comfort presenting to executive audiences
  • Ability to operate autonomously at the director level while sitting in an IC seat
  • Ability to be onsite 4–5 days per week in Seattle or Santa Barbara, with occasional travel to other locations as needed
  • Bonus

  • Experience inside an AI-native or AI-forward company where AI was a core driver of how work got done
  • Background redesigning roles or career frameworks specifically in response to AI adoption
  • Experience with Rippling (HRIS) and modern performance management tooling
  • Prior exposure to healthcare, SaaS, or other regulated industries
