Full-Time Senior People Lead

About Trellis Trellis is a profitable, fast-growing, Series A start-up. Join our mission to simplify and automate shopping for home and auto insurance. Our ML-powered insurance recommendations and our GenAI-powered conversational interface enable us to insure everyday Americans faster, cheaper, and smarter. We're fully remote.

About the role Trellis is looking for an emerging leader to elevate how our company attracts, develops, and retains top talent. The opportunity is perfect for someone who has contributed to scaling a People organization and is ready to take ownership of doing the same.

You'll work closely with senior leadership and functional leaders to define and execute a People strategy for our organization's unique needs. This includes full employment lifecycle programs and processes, from talent acquisition and onboarding, to professional development, performance management, and employee engagement.

You'll consider the important differences between teams like Product Management and Engineering versus front-line Sales and Service.

• Work across the entire business, with teams like engineering, analytics, and consumer operations
• Co-develop and manage hiring plans to attract and hire high-performing individuals who align with our company culture and values
• Design and implement performance management programs, including goal-setting, performance reviews, career-pathing, and professional development
• Enhance our employee engagement program
• Take ownership of running our total rewards/employee benefits program
• Implement strategies with consideration for the unique makeup of our workforce (traditional startup technical & business teams plus a fast-growing insurance sales team)
• Be the subject matter expert for People-related compliance

To succeed in this role, you have

• 6+ years of professional experience in a startup or growth-stage business
• First-hand experience building a people organization for rapid growth, ideally one with a "dual track" structure (e.g., corporate + agency)
• Strategic acumen and outcome orientation; you know that the People function drives real, tangible business value and you can craft strategies around that
• Ability to take an ambiguous problem, independently craft a work plan, and execute against that plan for 3-4 weeks at a time
• Adaptability and empathy to build rapport with individuals in diverse functional areas and develop a deep understanding of their world
• High energy, positive demeanor – you'll often be the first face people see when they get introduced to Trellis and a regular "go-to" for team members at all levels
• Low ego and a willingness to roll up your sleeves
