  • Coordinate onboarding programs that help new employees quickly understand Get Covered’s business, culture, tools, and expectations.
  • Ensure onboarding is consistent across departments and locations.
  • Support workforce planning as the company scales.

Performance Management & Employee Development

  • Design and manage practical performance review processes, including 90-day reviews, annual reviews, and manager feedback cycles.
  • Help establish clear role expectations, goals, and career development frameworks.
  • Support managers in identifying high performers, performance gaps, and development opportunities.
  • Assist with performance improvement plans when needed.
  • Promote a culture of continuous feedback and accountability.

Culture, Engagement & Communication

  • Help protect and scale the culture that has helped Get Covered grow.
  • Develop employee engagement initiatives, pulse surveys, feedback channels, and internal communication rhythms.
  • Partner with leadership to improve transparency, alignment, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Support company meetings, employee communications, recognition programs, and culture-building activities.
  • Identify opportunities to improve employee experience without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of progressive HR, People Operations, or Human Resources experience.
  • Strong knowledge of employee relations, performance management, onboarding, and employment compliance.
  • Experience supporting teams across multiple regions or states.
  • Experience working with both U.S.-based and offshore teams is strongly preferred.
