- Manager Coaching: Act as a dedicated coach to managers and Directors, helping them navigate team dynamics, workforce planning, and talent development
- Program Implementation: Take global people initiatives and translate them for the local office, ensuring high adoption and relevance

PHISHING SCAM WARNING: Addepar is among several companies recently made aware of a phishing scam involving con artists posing as hiring managers recruiting via email, text and social media. The imposters are creating misleading email accounts, conducting remote “interviews,” and making fake job offers in order to collect personal and financial information from unsuspecting individuals. Please be aware that no job offers will be made from Addepar without a formal interview process.
