Operations and Implementation Specialist
š Build the future of employee leave
Weāre bringing much needed simplicity to the complex world of employee leave. Today, the process is baffling: going on leave (be it parental, medical, bereavement, or for any other reason) means talking to reps and wading through a mountain of government and insurance claims just to get your time off and income in moments when you're the most stressed and busy. We talked to hundreds of employees and employers who had nightmare stories to tell, and wondered to ourselves why nobody had solved this yet.
Our mission is to empower every working person to take care of the important things in life when it matters most ā removing all of the friction that exists today for both employees and employers ā and be the #1 advocate for folks going through the process. It's a really exciting space, and we're moving incredibly fast on both product and user momentum.
Excited about taking the most frustrating processes companies and employees face and making it surprisingly delightful? We'd love to work with you.
