ABOUT onX

As a pioneer in digital outdoor navigation with a suite of apps, onX was founded in Montana, which in turn has inspired our mission to awaken the adventurer inside everyone. With more than 400 employees located around the country working in largely remote / hybrid roles, we have created regional “Basecamps” to help remote employees find connection and inspiration with other onXers. We bring our outdoor passion to work every day, coupling it with industry-leading technology to craft dynamic outdoor experiences.

Through multiple years of growth, we haven’t lost our entrepreneurial ethos at onX. We offer a fast-paced, growing, tech-forward environment where ownership, accountability, and passion for winning as a team are essential. We value diversity and believe it leads to different perspectives and inspires both new adventures and new growth. As a team, we’re hungry to improve, value innovation, and believe great ideas come from any direction.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

onX is seeking a People Programs Director to bring our People & Culture strategy to life across the organization.

Reporting directly to the Head of People and Culture, you will design, deliver, and scale the highest-impact people initiatives that drive clarity, cohesion, and connection across our matrixed business. From shaping our listening ecosystem and storytelling with people data, to aligning internal comms and experience with our external brand, you will ensure our people systems work as hard as our people do.

As an onX People Programs Director, your essential job duties and responsibilities will look like: 

• Activate our People Strategy
  • Operationalize the Talent Strategy: Translate the high-level onX Talent Strategy into a concrete execution plan. You will design the scalable systems and processes that bring our “Build for Scale” capability to life across the business.
  • Align Brand and Communications: Partner with the Brand and PR teams to knit together our internal and external brand. You will develop and lead a cohesive internal communications strategy that makes leadership decisions visible and ensures our employee experience authentically reflects our brand promise.
• Use Insight to Drive Action 
  
  • Build a Listening Ecosystem: Architect and implement a holistic “listening ecosystem.” This system will capture and synthesize disparate data sources—including qualitative workshop feedback, HRIS data, and employee movement—to provide a predictive, real-time view of organizational health.
  • Drive Cohesive Storytelling with People Data: Pull insight from raw data and package into compelling narratives and actionable recommendations for senior leadership. Partner with the Business Intelligence team to create dashboards that track progress against our key people objectives and tell the story of what's happening within the company.
• Launch, Integrate, and Scale People and Way of Working Initiatives 
  
  • Identify and Launch Key People Initiatives that support our Way of Working goals: Lead end-to-end lifecycle of critical, cross-functional initiatives defined by our Way of Working blueprint. This includes initial discovery and scoping through to the successful delivery and impact measurement.
  • Own and Integrate Initiative Roadmaps: Own the roadmap for the initiatives you lead and ensure they are well-integrated into the broader People Strategy, Operational Plan 1 (OP1), and long-range planning efforts.
  • Scale What Works: Identify cultural and operational excellence and best practices across the business.  Codify how they scale and support their thoughtful integration into other teams and contexts, elevating performance and streamlining how we work. 
  • Champion Adaptive Change: Drive change through facilitation and partnership, not top-down mandates. You will lead cross-functional workshops to crowdsource solutions, ensuring new processes and tools are co-created with the teams who will use them.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Extensive Experience and Impact: 15+ years of experience driving operational excellence, leading end-to-end strategic change initiatives, and improving systems and processes across complex, matrixed organizations.
• Strategic Systems Thinker: A proven ability to operate in ambiguity, adapt to shifting priorities
