People Partner

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

The People Team at Notion exists to help build a generational company that enables people to do their best & most meaningful work.

• Coach Managers to lead through change, effectively performance manage and increase employee engagement with ongoing feedback and effective communication.
• Provide targeted performance management support, devise and implement development plans, and enhance managers' training for improved team performance.
• Provide comprehensive support in employee relations. Address and resolve workplace issues, support employees and managers and ensure fair policy application.
