People Success Specialist

Location:


The People Success Specialist brings Carnegie’s People Success programs to life — owning onboarding for both new hires and internal transfers, serving as the company’s primary onboarding and training facilitator, and driving employee engagement and well-being initiatives soup to nuts, from planning through execution and delivery. This role blends hands-on program ownership with the operational execution to back it up, using AI tools alongside day-to-day coordination to move quickly and stay organized.

This is a role for someone who takes pride in the details, is comfortable putting AI tools to work to move faster and stay organized, and is just as confident running a session in front of a room as they are managing the operational pieces behind it.

What You’ll Own

  • Onboarding & People Operations
    • Own the new hire and internal transfer onboarding process end to end — project setup in Asana, communication with managers, calendar invites, and compliance tracking
    • Facilitate new hire onboarding and other People Success programs, creating engaging employee experiences through thoughtful planning, delivery, and follow-up.
    • Lead staff change updates — job title updates, job description changes, manager transitions — ensuring accurate updates land across systems and resources
    • Own job description workflows, maintaining accurate records and consistency in title and format
    • Leverage AI tools and technology to streamline People Success workflows, improve operational efficiency, automate routine tasks, and continuously enhance People Success processes.
  • Employee Engagement & Well-Being
    • Plan and run company-wide engagement activities, owning the shared events calendar
    • Build tools that power engagement — Google Forms, surveys, and other resources that gather input and drive participation
    • Track employee initiative completion, engagement participation, and training metrics, providing recommendations for improvement.
    • Identify opportunities to strengthen connection, culture, and employee engagement across the company.
    • Own company-wide communications (Slack, email, calendar invites) to keep employees informed and engaged
    • Partner with managers and cross-functional teams to deliver consistent employee experiences across onboarding, learning, and engagement initiatives.
  • Learning & Development
    • Support company-wide learning initiatives, including internal conferences and other development opportunities
    • Maintain learning resources — training decks, recordings, and the company-wide training and events calendar
    • Keep company-wide resources organized and easy to find in Google Drive

  • Experience in an administrative or coordination role preferred
  • Familiarity with People Operations, Human Resources, or a similar field is a plus

  • Ability to communicate clearly with a wide range of people
  • Comfort managing multiple tasks and deadlines in a remote work environment
  • Willingness to learn new tools and adapt to new processes
