Why join Calendly’s People team? 

Calendly is looking for a Leadership & Talent Development Program Manager to join our incredible team. Reporting to the Head of Learning & Development, the Leadership & Talent Development Program Manager brings vision, leadership, and execution to the continued evolution of three critical pillars to Calendly’s long-term success: Leadership/manager development, performance, and career development. 

We know that people leaders are force multipliers for the culture, values, and career experiences we aspire to enable at Calendly. People leaders have a direct impact on connecting individuals’ work to the company’s strategic goals and priorities, role modeling our values, and driving engagement and retention. In this role you’ll take ownership of the manager's journey, from aspiring manager through to strategic leadership, while partnering with L&D and People Business Partners to develop the right skills at the right time for our remote-first people leaders. 

People join Calendly for a career, not just a single role; they want to learn, grow, and do meaningful work that matters in a company that lives their values every day. We believe in a culture of continuous feedback and engagement between individuals & leaders and have built our “Reflections & Feedback” process to be lightweight, balanced, and focused on enabling meaningful conversations. In this role you’ll lead the evolution and execution of our talent development processes that focus on developing people to be their best selves while delivering optimal outcomes for the business through regular dialogue. 

This newly created and highly visible role will partner across stakeholders and functions to drive high performance and continuous development & growth while building for scale and keeping an eye towards the future; including supporting org design and change management. The ideal candidate will be comfortable in a fast-paced rapidly scaling tech environment with the ability to remain measured, intentional, and planful.
