Director of People Project Management @ Etsy
2014 - 2023 | Brooklyn, NY
Over the course of nine years, I went from Internal Comms Intern to Director of HR Project Management, focused on enabling communication, collaboration, and connection. It was a period of tremendous growth and change at the company (an IPO, multiple acquisitions, a couple rounds of layoffs, major hiring sprints, a new executive team, COVID-19, and then some). Even with all the change, Etsy was consistently listed as a Best Place to Work in the US, had a highly engaged workforce, and low attrition compared to benchmark. It was a wild and wonderful ride, and I got to work on some pretty special projects with some special people to build a fantastic culture. Some of my proudest moments include:

• Codifying company values, expectations, & norms | I had the privilege to work on a number of initiatives in partnership with senior leadership to guide behavior and decision-making at all levels of the company. This work included establishing company values, redesigning our HR handbooks for employees and contractors, and developing evolving guidance and policies during the COVID-19 crisis and the transition to hybrid working.

• Designing programs that empowered employees to perform their best | I was able to play a key role in many aspects of the employee experience, including redesigning our employee onboarding experience, rolling out our company goal setting process, and implementing programs to recognize and reward our employees, including annual performance & compensation reviews, our bi-annual promotion cycle, and quarterly development check-ins.

• Keeping teams connected and aligned | A major focus throughout my tenure was keeping folks in the loop and in sync, at the company and team level. This involved facilitating company meetings of 800+ employees, as well as crafting all-company newsletters and emails. I was also responsible for launching key tools for information sharing and communication across the company, including our employee intranet and Slack.
