People Experience Senior Manager

Garner is on a mission to transform the U.S. healthcare system — and we’re the only proven player doing exactly that. We partner with employers to redesign how healthcare works: applying 550+ proprietary clinical metrics across 80+ specialties to a dataset of 320M+ patients to identify the best-performing doctors, then using compelling incentives to steer members to the care that helps them get healthier, faster.

The result is a rare “win win” — better care and lower costs for both members and employers. In just five years, our work has helped over 2.5 million people access higher-quality care and saved $1B in healthcare costs. We recently raised our Series E and have doubled five years running. If you've ever wanted your work to solve a problem that touches every person in this country, this is the opportunity to do exactly that. You'd be joining a team fundamentally reimagining healthcare in the U.S. — and using AI to scale that impact further and faster than anyone else can.

We’re looking for an exceptional People Experience Senior Manager to join our People Team and lead our Employee Experience and Facilities functions. This role is responsible for designing and scaling the programs, environments, and systems that enable Garner’s team to perform at the highest level. You will play a critical role in shaping a hybrid work experience that attracts top talent, accelerates onboarding, strengthens culture, and enables employees to do the best work of their careers. This is a highly cross-functional, high-impact role reporting to the VP of People, with one direct report.

This role will be based in our New York City office (in the Financial District). You must be willing to work in the office 3 days per week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
