About Onebrief
Onebrief is collaboration and AI-powered workflow software designed specifically for military staffs. By transforming this work, Onebrief makes the staff as a whole superhuman - meaning faster, smarter, and more efficient.
We take ownership, seek excellence, and play to win with the seriousness and camaraderie of an Olympic team. Onebrief operates as an all-remote company, though many of our employees work alongside our customers at military commands around the world.
Founded in 2019 by a group of experienced planners, today, Onebrief’s team spans veterans from all forces and global organizations, and technologists from leading-edge software companies. We’ve raised $123m+ from top-tier investors, including Battery Ventures, General Catalyst, Insight Partners, and Human Capital, and today, Onebrief is valued at $1.1B. With this continued growth, Onebrief is able to make an impact where it matters most.
About the role
As Onebrief scales rapidly, we’re investing in Talent Development to help people grow in their careers, build the capabilities they need, and develop as effective leaders in a remote-first environment. We’re looking for a Talent Development Specialist who can design and run simple, scalable frameworks that make development concrete and accessible across the entire organization.
You’ll work with employees from a wide mix of backgrounds and experience levels, including people coming from traditional tech roles as well as those joining from military or defense environments. Your work will help ensure that everyone, regardless of their prior experience, has clear expectations, effective support, and equitable access to growth. You’ll be a connective partner across the People team and the business—surfacing where people need support, shaping a clear approach to growth, and tying together things like role guidelines, leveling frameworks, professional development pathways, promotion criteria, new-hire development, and manager effectiveness into a coherent overall system.
About you
You understand how adults learn and you like turning “we should invest in development” into clear structures and tools. You’re good at spotting skill gaps or friction points and translating them into focused, practical talent development solutions.
You enjoy designing frameworks as much as ensuring they work in practice—coordinating with stakeholders, organizing content, supporting facilitators, and keeping programs on track. You’re proactive, organized, and collaborative; people trust you to listen carefully, distill what matters, and build lightweight, scalable systems (not one-off trainings) that fit a high-growth, remote environment.
What you'll do
Work with HRBPs and managers to define clear expectations and growth paths for key roles and levels
Identify development needs and skill gaps using manager input, performance signals, surveys, and other data
Build resources (guides, templates, toolkits) that support career development, leveling clarity, promotion readiness, feedback, and manager effectiveness
Design core development offerings—virtual sessions, curated learning content, and repeatable learning moments
Coordinate with subject matter experts and external partners to deliver targeted learning experiences, and occasionally facilitate sessions as needed
Collaborate with the Onboarding Program Manager to ensure new hires’ first 90 days connect cleanly to role expectations and long-term growth frameworks
Track participation, feedback, and simple outcomes to evaluate effectiveness and refine the Talent Development roadmap over time
What we look for
Around 5 years of experience in talent development, learning & development, people operations, or a related area
Experience designing and running development systems or frameworks in a fast-paced environment
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including comfort facilitating in remote or virtual settings
Ability to create clear, simple structures without overcomplicating them
Comfort working in a high-growth, evolving company with shifting needs and priorities
Comfort using or learning common L&D/Talent Development tools and systems (for organizing content, tracking participation, and collecting feedback)
Experience in a remote-first or distributed organization is a plus
