Remote Employee Engagement That Actually Works

Ever worked remotely and felt like you were on an island? Not here. We believe remote teams can feel like real teams—connected, trusted, celebrated. And that’s where you come in. This isn’t your average HR gig. You’re not just checking boxes or sending out surveys. You’re shaping how people feel at work, even when they’re a thousand miles apart. Let’s build something meaningful, together.

Why This Role Matters

Remote work is here to stay—but connection? That takes effort. When you join us as our Remote Employee Engagement Specialist, you’re taking on the heartbeat of our distributed team. You’ll help make sure people feel seen, heard, and fired up to do their best work. The truth? Remote life can be a little weird. Birthdays get forgotten. Wins don’t always get a shoutout. Folks can feel invisible. Your job is to fix that—every day, in big and small ways.

What You'll Be Owning

Let’s get into it. Here’s where you’ll roll up your sleeves:

You’ll Keep Us Connected

• Design virtual events that don’t suck (no more boring Zoom trivia)
• Launch connection rituals: think shoutouts, coffee chats, peer stories
• Run monthly “pulse checks” and actually act on the feedback

You’ll Build Real Moments

• Remember Joe’s dog’s surgery and follow up
• Celebrate big wins and weird holidays (National Taco Day? Yes please.)
• Make it easy for managers to care—from check-in templates to birthday nudges

You’ll Nurture Culture (Without Cheese)

• Spotlight team values through real people and stories
• Create async ways to bond: playlists, team wins wall, pet parades
• Keep a pulse on what’s working—and what’s tired

A Day in the Life

Morning: You kick off your day checking Slack. Someone shared a photo of their kid’s first day of school. You give it a ❤️ and move on to prepping for this week’s virtual hangout—a “Would You Rather” game that’s already got people talking. Midday: You hop on a quick sync with HR and a few team leads. Someone’s struggling with team energy on calls. You brainstorm an idea: rotating call hosts with surprise themes. Everyone’s in. Afternoon: You send out a Friday “Small Wins” roundup. You shout out Maria’s client save, Jason’s 5-year workiversary, and that someone finally figured out the broken expense form. It’s not just noise. People care. People smile.

Traits That’ll Help You Thrive

Not a perfect list, but these are the vibes:

• You’re a people nerd. You remember little things and genuinely like checking in.
• You love making things better. You see gaps and think, "Ooh, I can fix that.”
• You’re creative, but not fluff-only. You know engagement isn’t about emojis alone.
• You’re consistent. You don’t start things and disappear. You build trust over time.
• You’re comfy with tools like Slack, Notion, Zoom, and async video apps.
• You get that different people show up differently—and design for everyone.

The Team You’ll Join

You’re not flying solo. Here’s who’s in your corner:

• Alex (People Ops Lead): Big on data, but also big on humanity. Loves feedback.
• Tariq (Head of Remote): Obsessed with time zones and fairness. Total introvert.
• Jess (Comms & Culture): Brings the sparkle. Also the queen of gifs.

Together, you’ll shape how our 150+ remote team members across 7 countries feel connected, celebrated, and part of something real.

What Success Looks Like

This isn’t a checkbox role. We care about real outcomes:

• Employee NPS and feedback scores go up
• People actually show up (and enjoy) engagement initiatives
• You build rituals that stick—even after you’ve moved on
• New hires feel welcome from day one
• Managers feel supported and energized

And yeah, you’ll have space to experiment. Not everything will work. But you’ll learn fast, adjust, and keep trying. That’s what makes this fun.

Tools in Your Toolbox

No need to be a tech wizard, but being handy with a few tools helps:

• Slack (you’ll live here)
• Notion or Confluence for organizing ideas
• Zoom and Loom for face time and async comms
• Survey tools like Typeform or Polly
• Canva or Figma (even just for simple visuals)

We’re always open to better tools, too. If you’ve got a favorite, bring it.

Perks, Pay & Flexibility

Let’s talk brass tacks:

• Annual Salary: $138,000 USD
• Remote-First: Work from wherever you feel your best
• Flexible Hours: Sync up when needed, but no 9-to-5 prison
• Wellness Budget: Mental health, gym, you name it
• Home Setup Stipend: Because your workspace should work
• Paid Time Off: Generous. Encouraged. Expected.
• Team Retreats: Optional, but we do love getting together now and then

Challenges You’ll Face (And How We Tackle Them)

Let’s be real—it’s not all virtual dance parties and happy hours.

• Zoom fatigue is real. That’s why we keep things async when we can.
• Engagement can feel like extra work. So we bake it into daily routines.
• Different cultures, time zones, personalities. That’s our edge and our challenge. We lead with empathy.

You won’t fix everything in your first month. But you’ll get support. You’ll get trust. And you’ll get the chance to make a difference.

The Kind of Energy We’re After

You don’t need every checkbox ticked. But if reading this made you nod along, smile, or think "Finally, something different"—you’re probably a great fit. We care more about how you think and connect than a resume full of buzzwords. So if you’ve got stories, ideas, or even questions? Let’s hear them.

Let’s Make Remote Work Feel Human

There’s nothing like being part of a team that gets it. That sees each other. That knows we’re not just workers on a screen—we’re people. If you’re ready to help build that, we can’t wait to meet you
