People Partner

New York, NY

Why We Exist

Every morning, 11,000 Americans wake up and begin their first day of retirement. While retirement should be an exciting, empowering, and fulfilling part of one’s life, the reality today is that retirement brings along with it a fundamentally new set of challenges that make it an overwhelming time for many.

At Chapter, we believe that the current infrastructure for retirement is broken, and we’re on a mission to fix it. We’ve started by building industry leading technology to solve the first major obstacle in retirement: navigating Medicare (healthcare coverage for retirees over 65). Our products help seniors sign up, choose an insurance plan, and leverage their plan after they are enrolled. And, unlike most Medicare advisors who only search plans that pay them, Chapter searches every Medicare option nationwide. This allows us to find savings and benefits that others miss.

But our ambition doesn’t stop with Medicare — we seek to transform the way that Americans navigate and experience retirement. If this sounds exciting to you, we’d love to speak with you.

About the Role

Chapter’s People Partners are dedicated to driving business outcomes through Chapter’s people. We work closely with all teams, and at all levels, to improve talent development, manage performance, and facilitate feedback across the organization. We empower Chapterians to be as effective and impactful as possible. 

Chapter’s People Partners work at both the strategic and tactical level. On any given day we design new programs and frameworks that help the organization and our people scale, develop new onboarding content and processes, and advise how to develop a deep culture of feedback. People Partners strike the balance between creating just enough structure that helps Chapterians thrive, without creating too much structure that may stifle the willingness to chase the most impactful problems. Our work helps maximize the efforts of our people, while also managing downside (performance, employee relations, etc.). People Partners are involved in all of the key moments of a Chapterian’s experience. 

How You’ll Contribute to Our Mission

  • Develop deep relationships and build trust with key stakeholders, becoming a strategic thought partner on people-related strategies and engagements
  • Build, execute, and regularly assess people processes and programs, catered to topics like feedback, growth, training, leadership development
  • Engage on issues of organizational design, process, and workflows in order to help teams operate more effectively
  • Utilize people metrics to drive key insights and decisions around the growth and retention of employees
  • Coach Chapterians (both individual contributors and leads), functioning as an advocate and resource to resolving key employee issues including performance, interpersonal conflicts, grievances and complex investigations
  • Partner with our Chief People Officer to optimize People Team operations as well as benefits strategy and compliance 

About You

  • 7+ years experience in the people space, ideally some time at a startup or rapidly scaling organizations
  • Proactivity and proven ability to operate autonomously while thriving in ambiguity 
  • Depth of experience with performance management, feedback, and employee relationships
  • Experience with benefits, operations, and compliance 
  • Deep experience building People programs that help positively impact employee experience and improve retention 
  • Cross-functional leadership and collaboration - you can lead through influence, and bring cross-functional teams together to implement new initiatives
  • Excels at working on open-ended problems and running them to completion.
  • High ownership matched with urgency in execution 

The starting salary for this role will be between $145,000 - $190,000, but it might vary depending on skills and experiences. If you think you'd be a good fit for the role, you should apply. All of our offers are based on our assessment of each individual's unique skills and experience.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
