You will leverage the talent acquisition team to develop and deploy an Employer Brand strategy that aligns with the attraction strategy.

Performance Management: Developing and executing an effective performance management process that aligns with Plooto's meritocratic culture is essential.

By establishing a performance-driven culture, you will encourage continuous improvement and accountability throughout the organization.

Total Rewards: Taking ownership of the compensation philosophy, you will create a competitive total rewards strategy inclusive of salary bands, levels, and a STIP/LTIP structure. Additionally, you will ensure Plooto has attractive employee benefits and stock option programs to support the attraction and retention of top talent. You will leverage data and market research to support your recommendations and the yearly benchmarking.

Learning and Development: You will be responsible for nurturing a culture centered around learning and development. You will deliver a learning strategy that supports professional growth at all levels in an employee's lifecycle. You will be creative in how we approach learning and development, not sticking to conventional programs. You will build out mechanisms that measure the effectiveness of the learning culture, and use this data to continuously refine and enhance these programs.

Operations: Leverage operating metrics to continuously improve how the team executes as it scales. Develop and execute a strategy around Centers of Excellence and ensure compliance with employment law in local jurisdictions.
