People Development Program Manager
We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use.

We’re looking for a hands-on Learning & Development specialist who is curious, tech-savvy, and excited to experiment with how AI can transform the way our people learn, lead, and grow. If you're someone who likes to take on new things, learn fast, and make things better as you go, this is a great team to grow with. We move quickly, focus on what matters, and care deeply about doing work that has real impact. You'll help shape how AI and human-centered learning come together and build meaningful programs that directly support our people.
