Your Manager
Lillio’s VP, People & Organization Development has a philosophy that businesses should know their employee experience journey, at least as well as they do their customer journey. She is a leader who likes to set the stage with big-picture vision, and empower the team to work through the plan of execution. Focused on supporting the SLT and building and integrating the People strategy, she is a broadly focused leader who moves quickly, is fast to delegate the details, and provides autonomy to team members. She places a high value on curiosity, emotional intelligence, business acumen, and intrinsic drive to improve. You will work well with her if you enjoy building, iterating, are confident in your approach, comfortable moving fast and managing up, and are highly attentive to detail.
The People Operations Team You'll Be Joining
The People team at Lillio is a small and impact-focused team, who is committed to leveling up the Lillio workforce through its People programming. We care deeply about our employee experience and want to empower our leaders by shifting management back into the hands of those who work most closely with their people. We are excited about building this team-first approach and this role is a key part of helping us.
