Learning and Development Program Specialist

 **Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits.** More than half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future.

Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings. We’re a high-growth fintech company changing the retirement industry. We are backed by a number of investors. This includes funding from Marshall Wace and Baillie Gifford, as well as top investors such as [BlackRock](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/01/13/2588448/0/en/Human-Interest-and-BlackRock-Join-Efforts-to-Expand-Access-to-Retirement-Plans-for-Working-Americans.html#:~:text=Human%20Interest%20has%20secured%20approximately%20%24500%20million%20in%20funding%20to%20date&text=NEW%20YORK%20and%20SAN%20FRANCISCO,businesses%20across%20the%20United%20States.), [TPG (The Rise Fund)](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/08/04/2274611/0/en/The-Rise-Fund-Leads-200M-Series-D-Investment-in-Human-Interest-to-Accelerate-Growth-and-Societal-Impact.html), SoftBank, [Glynn Capital](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/02/11/2174214/0/en/Human-Interest-Completes-105M-Series-C-Following-Breakout-Year-in-2020.html), NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and more. **About the role** As a Talent Development Program Specialist, you will play a key role in designing, building, and executing modern learning programs at Human Interest.
