Senior Manager of HR Programs

We are looking for a Senior Manager of HR Programs to work alongside the Chief People Officer, Clara Kridler , on the challenges that come with scaling a global workforce from under 100 employees two years ago to over 220 as of the drafting of this job description and into the future as we manage dozens of prospective and producing mining sites. The right candidate will come with first-hand experience navigating the challenges of establishing sophisticated processes, programs, and tooling that increase efficiency without increasing bureaucracy. These programs must thoughtfully contemplate the various cultural underpinnings and job responsibilities of the employees who work at KoBold. This hire will be successful if they build solutions that honor and preserve the ethos of KoBold. To do so, they must first establish a deep understanding of the science and business along with how we work together. To be an effective architect of our People programs, processes, and tooling, you must be insatiably curious about the various activities and pursuits at KoBold. Days will be varied, the problem space may be ambiguous, and the path ahead will feel intimidating at times; this will energize our Senior Manager of HR Programs. Responsibilities include contributing to and sometimes leading the evolution of our core People programs (compensation, performance management, onboarding, etc.), supporting organizational change initiatives by designing people-centered communication and transition strategies, reducing manual work throughout HR, increasing data-derived insights and action plans, improving the employee experience and rate of learning, partnering with leaders to solve talent and management-related issues, endlessly seeking ways to make our teams more effective at collaborating and socializing their work and improving cohesion across our geographically fragmented organization.
