Currently, it consists of six members: two People Ops Managers, a Lead People Business Partner, two Talent Acquisition Managers, and a Workplace Manager — and it is growing fast, with nine positions open today across Talent Acquisition, People Operations, and People Business Partnering: you will lead a team of about fifteen within a year.
