About Glean:

Glean is the Work AI platform that helps everyone work smarter with AI. What began as the industry’s most advanced enterprise search has evolved into a full-scale Work AI ecosystem, powering intelligent Search, an AI Assistant, and scalable AI agents on one secure, open platform. With over 100 enterprise SaaS connectors, flexible LLM choice, and robust APIs, Glean gives organizations the infrastructure to govern, scale, and customize AI across their entire business - without vendor lock-in or costly implementation cycles.

At its core, Glean is redefining how enterprises find, use, and act on knowledge. Its Enterprise Graph and Personal Knowledge Graph map the relationships between people, content, and activity, delivering deeply personalized, context-aware responses for every employee. This foundation powers Glean’s agentic capabilities - AI agents that automate real work across teams by accessing the industry’s broadest range of data: enterprise and world, structured and unstructured, historical and real-time.

Recognized by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies (Top 10, 2025), by CNBC’s Disruptor 50, Bloomberg’s AI Startups to Watch (2026), Forbes AI 50, and Gartner’s Tech Innovators in Agentic AI, Glean continues to accelerate its global impact. With customers across 50+ industries and 1,000+ employees in more than 25 countries, we’re helping the world’s largest organizations make every employee AI-fluent, and turning the superintelligent enterprise from concept into reality.

If you’re excited to shape how the world works, you’ll help build systems used daily across Microsoft Teams, Zoom, ServiceNow, Zendesk, GitHub, and many more - deeply embedded where people get things done. You’ll ship agentic capabilities on an open, extensible stack, with the craft and care required for enterprise trust, as we bring Work AI to every employee, in every company.

About the Role:

Glean is seeking an Onboarding & Training Lead to build and run a high-touch, scalable onboarding experience for new hires globally. In this role, you’ll own the end-to-end new hire journey—from pre-boarding through the first 90 days—designing programs that are engaging, community-building, and tightly connected to our culture and ways of working. You’ll also drive lightweight training initiatives, with a particular focus on manager enablement and core skills training, partnering closely with HRBPs, Recruiting, Workplace, and functional leaders to ensure new hires and managers have the tools, training, and clarity they need to be successful.

You will:

Design and run new hire onboarding
- Own the company-wide onboarding strategy and calendar- from pre- boarding communications through day 1, week 1, and 30/60/90-day milestones for new hires globally.
- Elevate our in-person and hybrid onboarding experience, ensuring new hires feel welcomed, informed, and connected, whether they’re joining an office hub or remotely.
- Facilitate live onboarding sessions (e.g., company overview, culture and values, tools and systems, “how we work” norms) and coordinate guest speakers from across the business.
Drive follow-up touchpoints and community
- Implement structured 30/60/90-day touchpoints, including checklists, surveys, and manager prompts to ensure new hires are ramping effectively and have what they need to succeed.
- Stand up lightweight new hire communities (e.g., cohorts, buddy programs, new-hire office hours) and recurring connection points such as welcome events or new hire happy hours.
- Partner with Workplace and local office leads to ensure physical space, events, and onsite experiences reinforce a positive onboarding journey.
Lead lightweight L&D and manager enablement
- Coordinate and run monthly manager meetings and enablement sessions on core topics such as performance, feedback, 1:1s, and onboarding best practices.
- Curate and maintain a self-serve learning library (playbooks, templates, checklists, videos) for managers and new hires, leveraging tools like Glean, LinkedIn Learning, and internal documentation.
- Partner with functional enablement teams (e.g., Sales Enablement) to extend relevant role-based onboarding content into the company-wide experience where appropriate.
Measure, improve, and report on impact
- Define and track key onboarding and learning metrics, such as time-to- productivity, new hire satisfaction in the first 90 days, and manager feedback on readiness.
- Use data and qualitative feedback to continuously iterate on programs, content, and delivery, ensuring we stay aligned with business needs and employee expectations.
- Partner with People Analytics and Systems teams to build simple dashboards or recurring reports that give leaders visibility into onboarding health and trends.
Program operations and cross-functional partnership
- Own the operational backbone of onboarding: schedules, comms, registration flows, documentation, and internal FAQs, in partnership with HR Ops, IT, Workplace, and Recruiting.
- Ensure smooth handoffs between Recruiting, HR, IT, and managers so that laptops, access, workspace, and key systems are ready for new hires on day one.
- Maintain clear, accessible documentation for all onboarding and core learning programs, including process maps, facilitator guides, and participant materials.

About you:

4+ years of experience in HR, People Ops, L&D, or Employee Experience, with a strong focus on new hire onboarding, program management, or internal training in high-growth environments.
Proven ability to design and run scalable programs end-to-end - from needs assessment and content design to facilitation, measurement, and iteration.
Comfortable facilitating live sessions (virtual and in-person) with groups of managers and new hires; you bring energy, clarity, and structure to every session.
Data-informed and operationally minded - you use metrics, surveys, and feedback to decide where to focus and how to improve.
Strong cross-functional collaborator who can partner with HRBPs, Recruiting, Workplace, IT, and business leaders and influence without formal authority.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate complex information into simple, actionable guidance for new hires and managers.
Comfortable in a fast- paced, ambiguous environment; you enjoy building, iterating, and improving as the company grows.
