Talent Enablement Lead

Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we're changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We're building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be 'on the money'.

At Relay, we know that our people are our greatest differentiator and that culture, learning, and belonging fuel performance. As our Talent Enablement Lead, you'll play a key role in shaping how we develop, engage, and grow our team. You'll design and deliver programs that strengthen leadership, career growth, embed our values in everyday work, and help Relayers thrive from day one.

You'll partner closely with People, Leadership, and cross-functional teams to build impactful learning experiences – from onboarding to leadership development to culture-building initiatives. This is a high-impact role for someone passionate about people, facilitation, and building a strong, learning-focused organization in a fast-paced and high-growth fintech environment.

• Culture & Engagement: Partner with teams to embed Relay's values into the employee experience – from onboarding to recognition to ongoing enablement

• Onboarding & Enablement: Enhance new-hire onboarding and manager development programs to accelerate ramp-up and connection

• Leadership Development: Build learning paths and frameworks to support emerging and senior leaders in developing coaching, feedback, and performance management skills

• Talent Insights: Partner with the People team to identify development needs, measure impact, and continuously improve programs through data and feedback

• Dog-friendly space: can dogs really make you happy and healthy? We don't know for sure, but since we don't want to chance it, our office is 100% floof-friendly.

• Personal and professional growth: through ongoing feedback, mentorship, and coaching, work with peers and leaders who are invested in your growth and success.

• Top-tier equipment: as a Mac-first company, our Toronto offices have everything you need to produce your best work comfortably, from multiple screens to ergonomic seating.

• Social connection: we believe in celebrating our wins with two annual company-wide get-togethers, quarterly team events, happy hours, and special events and networking opportunities with industry leaders.

Why Relay Might Be the Perfect Fit For You

• You push relentlessly for reinvention: You're built to constantly ask, "How can this be better?" Change excites you and you drive it. 

• You crave autonomy: We trust our team with big challenges and the freedom to solve them. If you're someone who takes initiative, is comfortable taking risks, and seeks input when needed, you'll find the freedom here empowering.

• You own your work: You take pride in your work, follow through on commitments, and feel a deep sense of responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.

• You treat comfort as a red flag: You seek growth. When things feel too comfortable, you lean into change. You're excited about  stepping into the unknown and navigating new terrain to create something better alongside your team. 

• You care about impact, not noise: You care deeply about the substance of your work. You measure success by results, not recognition and you let your work speak for itself. 

• You're energized by complexity and ambiguity: You enjoy tackling problems that don't come with a playbook. You're comfortable building from scratch, iterating as you go, and collaborating to shape the best path forward.

• You seek out feedback: We value directness, clarity, and respect. We believe honesty fuels great work and career growth. You see feedback as a tool for learning and improvement, and you know that open, honest dialogue is key to achieving the best results — together.

• You're here for more than a job: At Relay, everything we do is in service of our mission to help small businesses thrive. To drive impact and have purpose here, that mission must matter to you too.
