People Tech Lead
We have an incredible team at Klaviyo - collaborative, capable, diverse, fun - and we won’t settle for less. Our customer base doubled in 2020 and our headcount is expected to double in 2021. We are making a significant investment in People Tech to ensure we’re set up for scale. Supported by a team of dedicated SMEs, team members and consultants, the People Tech Lead will help define our multi-year Workday & People Tech roadmap while concurrently supporting our 2021 initiatives ranging from upgrades in Workday HCM, implementation of Talent and Advanced Comp, oversight / hands on contributions to new integrations, and implementation of a data lake to drive dashboards within Tableau.

- Be the lead on our HR systems, primarily, but not limited to Workday.
- Create and drive our the People Tech roadmap, collaborating with leadership to understand our business needs and devise plans to thoughtfully support them.
