Senior Manager, People Strategy & Initiatives

Metropolis is an artificial intelligence company that uses computer vision technology to enable frictionless, checkout-free experiences in the real world. Today, we are reimagining parking to enable millions of consumers to just "drive in and drive out." We envision a future where people transact in the real world with a speed, ease and convenience that is unparalleled, even online. Tomorrow, we will power checkout-free experiences anywhere you go to make the everyday experiences of living, working and playing remarkable - giving us back our most valuable asset, time.

Who You Are

We're looking for an operator and self-starter who can bring the analytical horsepower of best-in-class consultancy with the scrappiness and execution bias of a builder. You'll help architect the next generation of our People Team designing the systems, insights, and operating rhythms that enable a 20,000-person organization to move with the precision and agility of a startup. Simultaneously, you will identify and reinvent processes that no longer serve the future vision of Metropolis.

If you love the blend of strategy, structure, and speed, and you're energized by turning big, messy challenges into crisp, data-driven solutions, this role is for you. You'll be a trusted partner to senior executives, working on high-visibility, high-impact initiatives that shape how we attract, grow, and engage talent across the company.

What You'll Do

• Drive strategic transformation by partnering with senior People and business leaders to define and execute transformation roadmaps from org design and process automation to analytics enablement and change management
• Build the story and the system by creating clear, compelling executive-level presentations, models, and frameworks that drive alignment and decision-making, translating complex data and insights into powerful narratives that inspire action
• Operationalize strategy by converting goals into measurable OKRs, dashboards, and trackers, defining what success looks like, and building the tools that help teams get there driving accountability across the People function and maintaining operating cadences that set the tone for performance culture and transparency
• Automate and optimize by identifying manual, repetitive processes and redesigning them through automation, AI, and lightweight systems that save time and reduce error
• Engineer order from chaos by developing systems and tools to manage competing priorities, track deliverables, and keep teams ruthlessly organized not just using templates, but building them
• Model like a pro by building and manipulating large data sets to size opportunities, model trade-offs, and drive investment decisions
• Act as a trusted consigliere by supporting sensitive, high-stakes projects with discretion and judgment, often being in the room (or behind the deck) for key executive conversations
• Plug in where it matters most by immersing yourself in team meetings and projects to spot gaps, connect dots, and jump into priority initiatives serving as the organizational "connective tissue" that keeps information, collaboration, and momentum flowing
• Zoom in and zoom out by shifting seamlessly from rolling up your sleeves to fix a process singlehandedly to engaging C-suite leaders on strategic direction sometimes in the same day
