About Extend:

Extend is modernizing the $100 billion-per-year protection plan industry using cutting-edge technology and top-notch customer service.

Our technology-forward omnichannel and API-first solution allows any merchant to offer protection plans, both online and in store, while also providing a merchant's end customers with a vastly improved and modern support experience that eliminates many of the issues customers face today with legacy underwriters. More recently, Extend also launched a shipping protection solution, covering consumers in the case of lost, damaged or stolen packages. This is further expanding the company's addressable market and value creation for merchants.

We are a venture-backed startup in downtown San Francisco led by founders who have previously had multiple successful exits. Extend simplifies the technology stack for the product and shipping protection industries.

This position requires a highly motivated person who is proactive and passionate about problem-solving and finding business solutions.

  • Assist with assessment and development of strategies to address issues of workflow improvement and/or organization structure for assigned business groups.
  • Conduct periodic audits of human resource activities to ensure compliance with laws, policies, and procedures.
  • Lead corporate communication strategies for key employee programs including onboarding, performance management, and regular company updates.
  • Support and implement corporate programs for assigned clients, such as performance management, compensation benchmarking, employee recognition programs, and workforce planning initiatives.
  • Work closely with management and employees to improve work relationships, build morale, and increase productivity and retention, embracing corporate values and culture to support Extend's continued growth and success.
  • Maintain employee records and required compliance documentation.
  • Participate in developing department goals, objectives, and systems.

What We Are Looking For:

  • At least 5 years of directly applicable experience in Human Resources as a business partner, consultant, or generalist.
  • Ideally, experience working in a small to mid-size, start-up environment, which may be combined with some additional experience in large organizations.
  • Resilience, flexibility, and the ability to work quickly and effectively cross-functionally.
  • Resourceful and curious to solve problems that you have not encountered before - a strong, fast, and adaptable learner.
  • Excellent judgment and superior emotional intelligence.
  • Proven track record of working with, coaching, and influencing senior leaders.
  • Comfortability and prior experience managing the planning, development, implementation, and administration of People Team Programs.
  • Working knowledge of multiple human resource disciplines, including compensation practices, organizational diagnosis, diversity, performance management, and federal and state employment laws.
