At Affirm, we're committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a DEI Specialist, you'll work closely with the DEI Manager (to whom this position reports) on executing our DEI strategy across the company. You'll partner cross-functionally on projects and programs that support DEI at Affirm, and you'll have the opportunity to project manage small-mid scale programs from start to finish and support the day-to-day operations of larger-scale programs. 

What You'll Do

• Drive small-mid scale, end-to-end projects and programs that support Affirm's DEI strategy.
• Provide project and program management support, including monitoring project progress and keeping projects and tasks on track, keeping cross-functional partners appropriately engaged and informed, and actively resolving issues.
• Assist with vendor management, project budgeting/planning/logistics management, and internal/external communication on DEI matters.
• Collaborate with our People Business Partners, Onboarding/Engagement/Learning & Development/Talent Management partners, ERG leaders, and business leaders to understand DEI needs.
• Help analyze engagement and DEI survey data; help set and execute DEI goals and action plans using data.
• Serve as first-in-line support for team support channels (e.g., Workday ticketing and general learning Slack messages from employees).
• Support the administrative elements across our portfolio of programs (e.g., calendaring, drafting employee communications, building project plans, tracking deliverables, updating and organizing data, and responding to employee/manager questions).
• Support maintaining data integrity for our program's systems/tools and dashboards to help track programs' effectiveness using various metrics.
• Input, analyze, synthesize data, and complete external research to identify patterns and new ideas that can help improve programs and processes.

What We Look For

•  3 to 4+ years of program/project management experience, ideally in DEI or people-related programs. 
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with an appetite for distilling sophisticated information into what matters most. Simpler is better.
• Experience in simultaneously executing short-term and long-term projects, with attention to detail and organization.
• Strong relationship-building skills and ability to work collaboratively with diverse cross-functional teams.
• Ability to maturely handle sensitive and confidential information.
• Passionate about DEI and enthusiastic about growing DEI knowledge for yourself and others.
• Data-driven problem solver and strategist.
• Creative thinker who can generate innovative program ideas to improve the Affirmer experience and has a growth mindset (i.e., you're excited to try new things and believe challenges will help you grow).
• A “how can we make this better?” mentality. You recognize that “perfect” is not an end state and continually drive for program improvement.
