• Contribute to L&D, People Program, and Total Rewards initiatives.

Performance, Comp & Data• Run performance reviews and the comp cycle for your client groups end to end - calibration, consistency, communication• Bring a data- and metrics-driven approach - attrition, span of control, performance distribution to flag org risk before it becomes a retention problem

AI & Ways of Working• Use AI tools, including Factory’s own product, as a core part of how you operate - dogfooding what we build• Operate at both altitudes: build durable systems while running the day-to-day operational load, often in the same week
