About the Job

With a global workforce of 5,000+ employees, in-person gatherings are essential to Twilio’s remote-first culture. We’re searching for a Program Manager who thrives at both the strategic and operational levels—someone who can architect a bold vision for how in-person connections drive our company forward, and then deliver on that vision through meticulous program management. This role will report to the Senior Director, People Planning & Spaces.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll:

  • Define Our Vision: Assess the current state of in-person gatherings across the company: gather and analyze data, identify pain points, understand our existing tools and vendor landscape, and uncover opportunities to better connect teams and build culture.
  • Build the Strategy & Roadmap: Develop an ambitious yet achievable future state for in-person gatherings, aligned with company goals and scalable across our global organization. Create a clear, data-driven roadmap to get us there, making thoughtful recommendations that incorporate our current platforms and vendor partnerships (e.g., Reed & Mackay, Navan, Gable).
  • Operationalize & Execute: Roll up your sleeves to execute on your roadmap—ensuring seamless implementation from high-level program design to relevant, hands-on tasks—always factoring in how to best utilize existing tools, resources, and vendor partnerships.
  • Measure & Iterate: Establish and report on KPIs, including employee/team engagement and spend, leveraging both existing and new metrics that you help define. Use this data, along with input from our partners and systems, to continuously improve the program. Establish systems to track who is gathering, how often, and for what purpose, ensuring visibility into trends and outcomes.
  • Partner Cross-Functionally: Serve as a key member of the “open work” committee, driving alignment with colleagues from procurement, corporate security, real estate, legal, and more, ensuring that updates or changes to the program align with cross-functional priorities—including tool and vendor usage.
  • Provide Executive Updates: Present program strategy, progress, and results to senior leaders; influence and secure alignment and buy-in at the executive, director, and manager levels.
  • Manage Program Resources & Communications: Own all resources related to the in-person gatherings program. This includes auditing, updating, and maintaining internal intranet pages (Switchboard), crafting and executing communications campaigns for program updates, and ensuring employees have up-to-date, accessible information and tools for participating in gatherings.
