ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for an Employee Experience Partner to create the moments that people at Fireworks remember and keep talking about years later. You’ll own recognition, employee swag, and employee-facing events. You’ll build the employee experience at a global level, defining what it means to be part of Fireworks when our team is spread across multiple locations. You’ll design experiences that express our culture, and drive initiatives that help people stay connected and aligned to it.

You’ll come up with the idea, then plan it, source it, and run it. By working closely with People Operations, the workplace team, and leaders across the company, you’ll bring the “wow” moments and make Fireworks a great place to work.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Run our recognition program on our recognition platform, making the award experience seamless for employees and managers, and iterate on the program as we learn what works.
Own all employee-facing swag, including new hire kits, recruiting swag, recognition awards, anniversary gifts, and special event items. Come up with creative ideas and manage sourcing and vendors to bring in swag people love.
Plan and run employee events of all sizes, from local team celebrations to company-wide moments like our holiday party and anniversary celebrations, in close partnership with the workplace team. Pay special attention to engaging our remote and global employees as they join us and as they continue to work with us.
Build tools and resources that make it easy for leaders and managers to host great team-building events for their own teams.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

5+ years of highly relevant experience in employee experience, culture, events, or people programs, ideally at a fast-growing startup
Proven experience driving initiatives that translate culture and values into tangible experiences
Strong execution: you’re comfortable doing the work yourself, from vendors and budgets to logistics and follow-through
Creativity with swag and gifting, including sourcing, vendors, and design
Comfort working with recognition or HR platforms, and iterating on a program as you learn
Excellent communication and collaboration skills across the workplace, People Ops, and leadership teams
