- Vision: see the big picture and examine all angles
- Integrity: Measure trust and strive for excellence
- Partnership: Collaborate and foster meaningful relationships

Panorama Strategy, a social purpose consultancy that accelerates progress for clients through audacious thinking, and
Panorama Action, which mobilizes voices and resources through bold action.
Panorama Global is seeking a Talent Acquisition, Onboarding & Office Operations Generalist for two jobs that fit together. The first is how people join Panorama, from the first conversation with a hiring manager through a new hire's first 90 days. The second is keeping Panorama's New York office and events running well, so staff and visitors have a reliable place to work and meet.
This role runs full-cycle recruiting in UKG, executes onboarding, manages HR communications, runs day-to-day operations of the New York office, and supports event logistics, including the annual offsite. As part of the People & Culture Team (PACT), the role reports to the Senior Talent Manager, who owns leveling, job description standards, onboarding design, and offsite design and outcomes. It partners with the People Operations Manager, who owns UKG and compliance, and with the People Systems & Programs Specialist on UKG onboarding and recruiting workflows. For New York office and event responsibilities, the role reports dotted-line to the Vice President, Social Impact, who leads Panorama's New York hub.
This is an exempt, full-time position based in New York, NY, with a hybrid schedule of three in-office days per week. Because this role supports events and new-hire onboarding, you should expect to work additional in-office days or evenings a few times per year (currently about 2-3 receptions or similar events), plus a week-long offsite event in Seattle each spring. As our New York office grows, event support may increase. We schedule these well in advance whenever possible.
