About Revel

Revel's mission is to accelerate EV adoption in cities by providing the infrastructure and services that make it easy to go electric. Revel operates the nation's first all-electric rideshare service, which delivers thousands of rides across New York City every day. Revel is also the leading public fast charging provider in New York, with stations in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, and more on the way. Founded in Brooklyn in 2018, Revel first began as a shared electric moped platform and has since grown to be a top partner for big cities pursuing an electric vehicle future — first in New York, with other markets to come soon.

Our Operating Principles

Revel’s Operating Principles represent who we are, how we act, and what we believe. They define our culture. 

Empathy. We seek to understand the experiences and perspectives of each other, our customers and the communities where we operate. 

Ownership. We are excited by big challenges and care deeply about our work. We empower and rely on each other and hold ourselves to a high standard.

Humility. We take our work seriously but not ourselves. We’re approachable, curious, and know we have a lot to learn. 

Adaptability. We expect change and quickly adjust our approach to reflect new information. We know success requires seeing opportunity in obstacles and relentlessly improving.

Simplicity. We clarify and prioritize what can be done now. We strive to keep things no more complicated than absolutely required.

Human Resources Business Partner

As Revel begins our expansion into California, we are looking to grow our People team by adding an experienced Human Resource Generalist. This person will be responsible for facilitating employee relations, resolving employee issues, and will play a key role in supporting our day-to-day payroll needs. They handle all aspects of employee relations, providing a safe space for employees to voice their concerns and ensuring cases are resolved effectively. The ideal candidate will have strong knowledge of California labor laws and HR best practices, as well as excellent communication and problem-solving skills. This candidate would be the liaison between the California and NY teams and have experience in employee relations with a large hourly workforce.
