ezCater is the world’s largest online marketplace for catering – a $60+ billion market in the U.S. We make it superbly easy for businesspeople to find and order great food for meetings and events, and we help our catering partners grow their business. We’re backed by $320 million in venture funding *and in early 2019 were valued at $1.25 billion.* Our mission is to power the world’s catering, and we’ll make it happen – even more surely if you come help us.

Our multi-sided marketplace connects catering buyers with restaurants and restaurants with couriers. Each side of our marketplace feels, correctly, that it’s #1 in our hearts. They’ve felt this at every stage of ezCater, from a two-person start-up to a billion dollar company, and we want them to continue to feel this way even as we grow 10X more in the next 3 years.

We believe the purpose of being in business is to grow a very successful company with happy customers and happy employees. We need you to invent new (and refine existing) processes for people matters, all the while supporting employees in being their most engaged self in order to take our culture and business to the moon and beyond.

• A business-enabling HR leader, partnering with our management team to continue to support doing what is right for our employees.
• A creative, warm leader with exceedingly high emotional intelligence, including global and cultural awareness.
• Able to span the 100,000-foot strategic level to getting into the details of the day to day; i.e. able to build the plane while flying it.
• A true collaborative partner to our People and Talent Team (and all ezCater team leaders) in bringing holistic thinking and action to all of our work.

What you'll do:

• Be a beacon of our culture. You’ll facilitate company-wide practice of our cultural recipe ingredients as well as ensure people output aligns with our company goals and expectations of behavior.

• Maintain knowledge of industry trends and employment legislation, as well as responsibility for ezCater’s compliance with country, federal, state and local legislation.
• Consult with legal counsel as appropriate, or as directed by the CPCO, on people matters.
• Develop and maintain a human resource information system (HRIS) that meets ezCater’s people information needs.
• Support HR activities, including (but not limited to) employee relations, leaves of absence and accommodations.
• Facilitate development of systems related to performance management, talent reviews, employee relations, employee engagement, and organizational change/optimization.

Ideally, you have:

What you’ll get from us:

Importantly, you’ll get a tremendous amount of authority and autonomy. You’ll own your outcomes and see measurable results for your efforts. With ezCater’s radical transparency and trust, you’ll have open access to the data that drives our decisions. ezUniversity sessions will provide plenty of opportunities to expand your mind.

At the same time, you’ll get sane working hours and a huge amount of flexibility around work/life balance. Have people in your life – of any age – who always, often, or sometimes need your help? We make room for that. Have a bad thing or a good thing happen to you? We make room for that, too.

Oh, and here’s what else you’ll get: Market salary, stock options you’ll help make worth a lot, the usual holidays, all-you-can-eat vacation, 401K, health/dental/FSA, long-term disability insurance, subsidized Light rail passes, a great office in the heart of Denver, a tremendous amount of responsibility and autonomy, wicked awesome co-workers, cupcakes (and many more goodies), and knowing that you helped get this rocket ship to the moon.
