Senior Employee Success Manager

We are looking for a Senior Employee Success Manager focused on performance, leadership development, and talent pipelines. This role helps us think through our organizational structure — the roles our teams need, and the distinct pathways for individual contributors and managers within them — then builds the talent development pipeline for each primary pathway. You’ll help define the first-time manager program that turns strong ICs into confident Coaches; an evidence-based picture of elite individual-contributor performance and the development that gets people there; onboarding that brings new hires to full performance faster; and an early career pipeline for homegrown talent.

People Operations Overview

People Operations at Wealthfront exists to advance the health and fitness of the organization. Operating within a distributed organizational model, we aggregate best practices innovated by functional leaders and redeploy them throughout the organization. We work in partnership with functional leads acting as trusted advisors to ensure we have the right people, processes, and tools to improve the financial futures of our clients and further set Wealthfront apart.

About the Role

• Help us think through structure. Partner with People Operations leadership on organizational design, leveling, and career pathways — the roles a function needs, and distinct tracks for individual contributors and managers, with a clear picture of what success looks like at each stage.

• Build a talent development pipeline for each pathway. Turn each primary pathway in that structure into a working pipeline — the content, assessments, and practices that move people from one stage to the next — so development is deliberate rather than left to chance.

• Grow homegrown talent. Design the early career and apprenticeship pipeline that builds our next generation of talent.
