Who we are
At CarGurus (NASDAQ: CARG), our mission is to give people the power to reach their destination. We started as a small team of developers determined to bring trust and transparency to car shopping. Since then, our history of innovation and go-to-market acceleration has driven industry-leading growth. In fact, we’re the largest and fastest-growing automotive marketplace, and we’ve been profitable for over 15 years.
What we do
The market is evolving, and we are too, moving the entire automotive journey online and guiding our customers through every step. That includes everything from the sale of an old car to the financing, purchase, and delivery of a new one. Today, tens of millions of consumers visit CarGurus.com each month, and ~30,000 dealerships use our products. But they're not the only ones who love CarGurus—our employees do, too. We have a people-first culture that fosters kindness, collaboration, and innovation, and empowers our Gurus with tools to fuel their career growth. Disrupting a trillion-dollar industry requires fresh and diverse perspectives. Come join us for the ride!
Role Overview
Join us in creating the next generation of learning experiences and help our employees achieve more than they thought possible!
As a Senior Learning Partner, you’ll collaborate across the business to assess needs, design programs, develop content, and rollout user-centric development experiences. Our learning programs should reflect how adults learn and break from traditional ways of conducting training so that we spark curiosity and prepare our employees to drive the organization forward.
What you'll do
- Serve as a strategic thought partner within the Learning team. Bring forth leading edge practices that redefine how we think about development.
- Lead efforts to conduct needs analyses with managers and People Strategists, uncovering the root cause of performance barriers, not just the symptoms.
- Leverage knowledge of our employee populations to design impactful programs that mix learning modalities and drive measurable, long term behavior change. We go beyond academic frameworks to create practitioner-focused programs.
- Develop compelling materials and messages to engage employees and inspire them to retain knowledge and build skills.
- Facilitate sessions with a blend of subject matter expertise, poise, humor, and flexibility. We have a special culture and every training session we facilitate is a chance for us to role model the adaptive, inclusive behavior we expect from every employee.
- Sometimes we “buy” and sometimes we “build.” This means the role will require you to partner with both internal and external experts. Relationship skills, the ability to influence, and an eye for excellence are critical for success.
- Program topics span everything from leadership development series to talent programs (e.g., performance reviews, career planning) to compliance trainings. We do it all!
Additional projects and assignments
- As a small team, we all chip in wherever needed. This may mean loading programs into our LMS, ordering food, or helping to set up a room. We succeed or fail as a team.
- Our Learning team is part of a function that also manages Internal Communications, Community (inclusion programs), Charitable Giving, and Internal Events. You can expect to collaborate across multiple areas. Leading projects related to new hire onboarding, communication campaigns, and inclusion events are all possibilities!
What you'll bring
- 10+ years of professional work experience
- Expertise in developing and facilitating learning experiences for a corporate audience
- Experience in multiple HR functions (e.g., Learning, Talent Management, Inclusion, etc.)
- Strong business acumen and interpersonal savvy
Working at CarGurus
We reward our Gurus’ curiosity and passion with best-in-class benefits and compensation, including equity for all employees, both when they start and as they continue to grow with us. Our career development and corporate giving programs, as well as our employee resource groups (ERGs) and communities, help people build connections while making an impact in personally meaningful ways. A flexible hybrid model and robust time off policies encourage work-life balance and individual well-being. Thoughtful perks like daily free lunch, a new car discount, meditation and fitness apps, commuting cost coverage, and more help our people create space for what matters most in their personal and professional lives.
We welcome all
CarGurus strives to be a place to which people can bring the ultimate expression of themselves and their potential—starting with our hiring process. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We foster an inclusive environment that values people for their skills, experiences, and unique perspectives. That’s why we hope you’ll apply even if you don’t check every box listed in the job description. We also encourage you to tell your recruiter if you require accommodations to participate in our hiring process due to a disability so we can provide the appropriate support. We want to know what only you can bring to CarGurus. #LI-Hybrid
