Senior People Operations Manager
Codecademy has helped over 45 million people learn to code. Join one of the most exciting technology companies in New York as we change the way people learn.
Millennials are highly-educated, tech-literate, and mission-driven. Yet seven years after the great recession ended, nearly half of young university grads are underemployed, meaning they aren’t working jobs that require a degree. And the situation has only recently begun to improve. This year US students will graduate with $37,000 in debt, only to accept unpaid internships and part-time jobs.
Meanwhile, software is eating the world, disrupting first media, publishing, and entertainment, and now food, transportation, and travel, creating millions of new technology jobs that companies are eager to fill. By 2020 there will be a shortage of 1 million more tech jobs than computer science grads.
We can be the bridge. We can help this generation gain the skill to fill these jobs and enjoy happier, more fulfilling careers. Join us.
We are looking for a talented Senior People Operations Manager to lead the strategy and execution of all of our people initiatives. The ideal candidate will be passionate about helping people, is data-driven, and has deep knowledge of best in class people strategies. This individual will report into our Director of People Operations and will work across the organization in an effort to create a rewarding experience for everyone at Codecademy.
