Department: Human Resources

This is not a job. It's a stake. A rare entrepreneurial opportunity to create something legendary from the ground up---and we want you in the room.
We are offering an equity partner role, not a traditional salaried position. That means:

This role puts you at the center of it all. You'll lead the delivery of high-impact, cross-functional people projects that influence every lane, core, and partner in our ecosystem.
