The Role

We’re looking for an Onboarding & Employee Enablement Manager who will design and run the end‑to‑end onboarding experience at Synthesia.

This role sits at the intersection of program management, learning design, and employee experience. You’ll create a structured, welcoming, and high‑impact onboarding journey that helps new hires ramp quickly while feeling genuinely excited to be here.

You’ll collaborate closely with leaders across the company—especially engineering, product, and design—to ensure our onboarding programs are relevant, modern, and continuously evolving.

This role is ideal for someone who combines a hospitality mindset with a technical/program management background, enjoys building systems and content (yes, lots of Synthesia videos!), and is excited about leveraging AI and automation to reinvent how companies learn and onboard.

Over time, this role will expand into broader employee enablement and learning programs, shaping how Synthesia develops talent internally.
