HRBP - Events & Employee Experience

Role Overview

We’re looking for an experienced HR Business Partner – Employee Experience & Events to lead Ashby’s efforts in creating a high-quality, engaging, and consistent employee experience across the entire employee lifecycle. Sitting within the People Ops team, you’ll play a key role in scaling how we connect as a distributed team — from onboarding and internal events to remote engagement, swag, and internal communications.

As the lead for employee experience, you’ll design and execute high-impact programs that bring structure and intentionality to how employees experience Ashby day-to-day. You’ll take ownership of our internal event strategy, including company-wide offsites, team gatherings, and in-person regional meetups, while also managing the programs and systems that support employee engagement more broadly — whether that’s swag fulfillment, onboarding touchpoints, or virtual connection moments.

While your core focus will be on experience and events, we’re looking for someone who brings a strong People Operations foundation. You’ve operated within (or closely with) a People Ops team and have experience owning or contributing to key functional areas like internal communications, policy development, learning & development, benefits, or compensation. You’re a clear and thoughtful communicator with strong written and verbal skills, capable of bringing ideas to life and ensuring alignment across stakeholders.

You’ve led and scaled employee experience programs in fast-paced, high-growth environments — ideally from 300 to 1000+ employees — and know how to build systems that scale globally. You understand how employee experience connects to the broader People Ops strategy and are equally comfortable thinking strategically and executing in the details.

We’re a growing startup, so there’s a lot to accomplish! You’ll seamlessly transition between big-picture program design and hands-on execution, collaborating across the business to deliver a best-in-class employee experience. In every initiative, you’ll ensure alignment with Ashby’s operating principles — building experiences that are thoughtful, high-quality, and grounded in how we work.

Responsibilities

• +8 years of relevant experience, ideally in a high-growth B2B SaaS environment
• Leading Internal Events & Offsites: You’ll own the strategy and execution of all internal events — including company-wide offsites, functional team gatherings, and regional meetups. You bring a strategic lens to event planning, while also managing vendors, budgets, logistics, communications, and design to ensure every experience is intentional, inclusive, and impactful.
• Building Virtual & Remote Engagement Programs: You’ll build scalable, creative ways to connect our distributed team — from structured programming to surprise-and-delight moments. You know that engagement isn’t one-size-fits-all and are thoughtful about designing experiences that feel right for our culture and stage.
• Elevating the Onboarding Experience: You’ll partner with People Ops to create a welcoming, consistent, and high-quality onboarding experience. You’ll own the experience-driven elements of onboarding and develop programming or content that enables onboarding to scale effectively as the company grows.
• Owning Employee Experience Touchpoints: You’ll oversee the key touchpoints that shape the day-to-day employee experience — from milestone celebrations and swag to internal storytelling and communications. You understand the role of Ashby’s internal brand in creating elevated, consistent experiences that feel thoughtful and aligned across events, programs, and employee lifecycle moments.
• Driving Cross-Functional Program Leadership: You’ll collaborate closely with teams across Ashby — including Marketing, IT, Finance, and functional leaders — to align on goals, messaging, and timing for key internal programs and employee lifecycle moments.
