Who you are

• 10+ years of experience, minimum of 3+ years of Engineering and/or Product experience and deep knowledge of various HR functions such as talent management, organizational design, employee relations, and performance management
• Strong learning velocity and able to ramp quickly on new organizations, leaders, and evolving operating models
• Demonstrated experience building relationships with senior leaders and cross-functional stakeholders
• Solutions-oriented with an analytical approach to problem-solving

• Highly adaptable and will thrive in a rapidly changing, fast-paced environment
• Effective written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills; ability to thrive with async and global teams
• Understanding of state and federal laws concerning labor relations
• You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you’re curious and willing to adopt AI tools to work smarter and deliver better results
• You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work
• For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on
• We hire talented people from a wide range of backgrounds. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every bullet, we still encourage you to apply
