Senior Organizational Development Manager

Box Box · Enterprise · Redwood City, CA · People

This role is focused on organizational development and talent management within an AI-first company. The Senior Organizational Development Manager will be responsible for redesigning job architecture, building career frameworks, and analyzing people/organizational data to inform strategic changes, particularly in the context of AI's impact on the workforce. The role requires a strong understanding of organizational design principles and the ability to apply them to evolving job roles.

What you'd actually do

  1. Serve as a core architect on the redesign of Box's job architecture: job families, leveling criteria, and career ladders that hold up across functions and scale with the business — build from scratch where none exist, and rebuild where the current ones call for an evolution
  2. Build and evolve career frameworks that define what capability looks like at each level, including how expectations shift as roles change, and partner directly with leaders and People Partners to drive adoption
  3. Analyze trends in people and organizational data across a large, complex org (attrition patterns, leveling distribution, span and layer, capability gaps) and use that analysis to identify areas of opportunity and determine what to build next
  4. Apply job architecture and leveling expertise to a workforce being reshaped by AI, understanding how augmentation shifts the definition of expertise at each level
  5. Act as the structural counterpart to internal teams like Comp and Legal, and partner with HR and business leaders piloting new structures
