• Marvin is at an inflection point where it’s time to bring the People function in house, and we’re looking for an experienced leader who is excited to build the practice from the ground up. Reporting to the Head of Operations, Anna Millhiser, you’ll own the entire employee lifecycle by defining creative programs that determine how we hire, onboard, develop, compensate, and retain the team behind our mission. You’ll lead in-house recruiting, design compensation philosophy and level frameworks, and build programs to help our team grow. Most importantly, you’ll ensure Marvin’s values show up in how we hire, reward, and recognize our team and you’ll have the data to back it up. This is a perfect opportunity for builders that want to create systems, not just run them, and to build a company that’s making a real difference in the lives of healthcare practitioners across the country.
• Onboarding. Design a thoughtful and scalable onboarding program that enables employees to become successful quickly, and ensures that all employees are deeply aligned with Marvin’s mission of ending healthcare burnout.
• Learning and Development. Build training for managers and individual contributors so that all employees are successful and continue to grow in their careers.
• Performance Management. Build a scalable performance management program that holds employees accountable and rewards those that exceed expectations.
• Compensation Philosophy. Design a thoughtful compensation philosophy and leveling framework to ensure that employees are rewarded and retained. Ensure that there is clarity and alignment throughout the organization as it relates to pay and role.
