What you'll be doing:
Collaborate with leadership and other relevant team members to guide people programs and talent model strategy--including performance management, compensation, retention, talent development & feedback, employee engagement & retention, and internal communications.
Partner with the VP of People & Culture and COE’s to promote a learning culture by supporting leaders and emerging leaders with unbiased perspective, counsel, and direct and caring feedback in areas such as organizational design and planning to scale with Alation's needs.
Engage in strong talent management practices to ensure that business leaders know their talent and support their growth, leading to higher employee engagement and retention.

You take comfort in significant responsibility--no matter how administrative or strategic.

You know how to use data and tech to glean insights. You are innately curious and are energized by peeling the onion back to understand root causes and impact analysis through data.
Gumption to take the wheel before being asked. You raise the bar on delivering a great product. You are a go-getter and diligent project manager, process-driven with exceptional attention to detail, and super-organized with tremendous and highly accountable follow-through.
Developer of Talent. You have a good eye for finding and developing talent. You have experience coaching teams and leaders at all levels of the organization on personal and team development.
