Who We Are

At City Storage Systems (CSS), we’re building the Infrastructure for Better Food—empowering restaurateurs across the globe to thrive in the digital food delivery world. Our mission is to make food more affordable, higher quality, and more convenient for everyone.

From entrepreneurs launching their first kitchens to global brands expanding rapidly, we provide the technology and infrastructure to help them succeed.

About The Role

Reporting into the People organization, you will drive operational excellence and build structure around the execution of long-term programs such as compensation philosophy, HR system enhancements, and people lifecycle initiatives.

You’ll govern timelines, manage risk, and ensure accountability across the function while introducing and monitoring KPIs that elevate team performance. This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone with a strong foundation in project management, people management and HRIS (Workday is a must).

• Own and drive the People Team roadmap, delivering on programs that span 6–12 months with multiple workstreams
• Plan, create and manage the project/program/product roadmap and prioritization for People Team initiatives 
• Govern planning, execution, accountability, and risk mitigation across high-impact projects (e.g. compensation cycle, banding strategy, performance initiatives)
• Directly manage two Associates (L3 and L4) – provide oversight on projects while also contributing IC work
• Build and roll out project tracking systems (e.g. Asana) to improve visibility and team coordination
• Partner closely with CPO, HRIS Manager, and broader People Team to translate strategy into execution
• Introduce and monitor KPIs across the PMO to drive decision-making and accountability
• Support the design and implementation of people programs and infrastructure (e.g. compensation frameworks, career banding)
• Ensure alignment across stakeholder groups while standing firm on project decisions and process adherence
• Leverage Workday and other HRIS tools to inform planning and execution
• Act as the connective tissue across employee lifecycle programs with a strong customer-centric lens

✅ 10–15 years of experience with People Program and Product Management 

✅ 5-7 years of people management experience

✅ Strategic mindset with the ability to optimize HR practices and solve complex business challenges

✅ High level of technical experience (Workday/HRIS) 

✅ Experience with Stakeholder management and data-driven decision making
