Must Have

- Pilot new ideas: digital formats, gamified learning, buddy programs, challenges, or onboarding quests.
- Ensure every new hire’s experience reflects our values and EVP — from the first email to full integration.
- 4+ years of experience in onboarding, employee experience, learning design, or internal communications (preferably in tech or international companies).
- Proven track record of running and improving onboarding programs (not just administrative coordination).
- Strong understanding of employee journey design and service design principles.
- Experience with digital collaboration tools (Slack, Jira, Confluence, LMS platforms).
