Medallia’s mission is to help companies win through customer experience. The world’s best-loved brands trust Medallia’s Experience Cloud™, which embeds the pulse of the customer in an organization and empowers employees with the real-time customer data, insights, and tools they need to make every experience great. Named a leader in the most recent Forrester Wave and ranked in the 2018 Forbes Cloud 100 list, Medallia is growing quickly, with a global footprint that spans Silicon Valley, Austin, New York, Washington DC, London, Paris, Sydney, Buenos Aires, Tel Aviv, and Prague. Here, we value people for each of the aspects that make them whole. We believe that people should not be defined only by a job title—nobody is "just an engineer" or "just a salesperson." We are each partners, parents, children, siblings, friends, and former classmates. We have different backgrounds and we celebrate different cultures. And, just like our product, we honor each of the experiences that build our people.

At Medallia we hire the whole person, not just a part of them.

Our Team

The Medallia People and Culture (P&C) team speaks directly to its name. The company’s cultivator of talent and champion of development, People and Culture defines Medallia both as a brand and employer. Inspired to find and bring out the best, we’re responsible for our people-processes: recruitment, hiring, onboarding, benefits, performance management and growth, and support during pivotal moments. 

The Role

In this role, you will report to the VP of HR Business Partners (based in the US), partnering with a global HR Business Partner team. The role supports business groups across the Sales, Engineering, and Professional Services (approximately 200 + Medallians across the US). You will serve as the primary P&C point of contact for functional business leaders, and early to mid-career Medallians.

At Medallia, the HR Business Partner team solves complex organizational challenges with a people lens; the emphasis is equal on each word in the title:

HR - You’ll apply a people lens to complex organizational and business challenges.

Business - Your business acumen will set you apart from the crowd.

Partner - While you’re a core member of the People and Culture team, you’ll work so closely with your key business groups that they value you as part of their team.

To be successful, you’ll need to challenge the status quo, push your partners to be great, and use data in addition to your laser sharp people instincts to drive decisions. As a core part of this role, you will be delivering critical people programs including compensation, performance and development. Across these programs, you will work to create structured and objective processes, and an environment where all Medallians feel a sense of belonging. You have the chance to own your career path as we build and grow a world-class organization. This opportunity is a full-time role (flexible working pattern can be accommodated), and is based in the US on the East Coast with minimal travel.
