Wealthfront is looking for a People Research Scientist to join our Organizational Performance group and study how employees perform, what enables success, and what environments and practices are most conducive to development. You will work closely with People Operations leadership and function leaders across the company.
At Wealthfront, we ask a lot from our managers and senior individual contributors, who develop the people around them while contributing to the advancement of their craft. You will study their career progression to identify what helps them grow, with specific focus on the unique needs of each group, managers and individual contributors. Rather than just delivering insights, you will collaborate to turn findings into practices and programs. When your research points to a solution, you will work with peers and leaders to design a program, launch it, and measure its impact.
A successful hire on this team will be a strong researcher, writer, and collaborator. Expertise in the research of individual and team performance will guide your efforts as an in-house researcher. Most of this job's output will consist of research briefs, program plans, training materials, and recommendations to leaders. Implementing new practices and programs will require close partnership and skillful collaboration. The ideal candidate is motivated to push the boundaries of employee and organizational performance; is motivated to experiment and innovate; and resonates with Wealthfront’s mission to improve our clients’ financial futures.
