ezCater is the world’s largest online marketplace for catering – a $60+ billion market in the U.S. We make it superbly easy for businesspeople to find and order great food for meetings and events, and we help our catering partners grow their business. We’re backed by $320 million in venture funding and in early 2019 were valued at $1.25 billion. Our mission is to power the world’s catering, and we’ll make it happen – even more surely if you come help us.

We’re looking for a Senior People Business Partner to join our global and culturally engaged people operations team to support the growth and success of our most valuable asset: our employees. From onboarding to the last day of each ezCater journey, you’ll play a key part in providing the guidelines, accommodations, and unparalleled support to every employee that walks through our doors. It’s an awesome opportunity for a business-enabling HR professional to join an organization at a pivotal point in its trajectory and have clear, visible impact on the health of its path. 

You will:

• Own employee relations investigations across multiple departments and business channels
• Support HR activities, including (but not limited to) people matters, behavioral intervention, performance management guidance, leaves of absence and accommodations.
• Proactively partner with business leaders to coach conversations related to performance management, talent reviews, people matters, employee engagement, and organizational change/optimization.
• Ensure fair and consistent application and execution of ezCater programs and guidelines
• Provide training and development to managers and supervisors on guidelines, practices, leadership skills and communication
• Assist in the delivery and administration of training programs for talent development
• Partner with the People team on various activities including onboarding, transfers, promotions, separations, retirements, etc.
• Conduct employee stay and exit interviews
• Partner with team leaders to ensure consistency in all people practices, standards and processes 
• Influence practices to increase employee engagement and satisfaction
• Balance the 10,000-foot strategic discussions with the details of the day to day. You can build the plane while flying it.

You have:

• 5+ years of HR experience
• SPHR or SHRM- SCP certification 
• Working knowledge of FMLA & ADA
• Deep knowledge of compliance, both federal and state employment statutes and regulations 
• Experience operating in “gray spaces” and the knowledge to provide necessary structure when required
• Experience leading and mentoring through influence 
• Experience operating in a highly-regulated, high-growth environment
• A passion for people and a big heart

What you’ll get from us:

Importantly, you’ll get a tremendous amount of authority and autonomy. You’ll own your outcomes and see measurable results for your efforts. With ezCater’s radical transparency and trust, you’ll have open access to the data that drives our decisions. You'll have a coaching environment to learn and develop, and ezUniversity sessions will provide plenty of opportunities to expand your mind.

At the same time, you’ll get sane working hours and a huge amount of flexibility around work/life balance. Have people in your life – of any age – who always, often, or sometimes need your help? We make room for that. Have a bad thing or a good thing happen to you? We make room for that, too.

Oh, and here’s what else you’ll get: Market salary, stock options you’ll help make worth a lot, the usual holidays, all-you-can-eat vacation, 401K, health/dental/FSA, long-term disability insurance, subsidized T-passes, a great office in the heart of Boston, a tremendous amount of responsibility and autonomy, wicked awesome co-workers, cupcakes (and many more goodies), and knowing that you helped get this rocket ship to the moon.

ezCater is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace humans of every background, appearance, race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, and disability status. At the same time, we do not employ jerks, even brilliant ones.
