People Enablement Specialist

Dreem Health is America’s leading digital sleep clinic. Powered by Sunrise’s technology, Dreem Health makes sleep care simple — replacing long waits and in-lab sleep studies with home-based testing, expert telehealth visits, and personalized treatment plans that are easy for patients to follow. We’re fixing the broken sleep care journey and helping more people get the care they need — from home, on their schedule.

Sunrise's HR function is being built from the ground up, in real time, while the company doubles in size. The foundations — job architecture, leveling, reward philosophy — are now taking shape. What's missing is the layer that keeps people *engaged, growing, and performing well* once they're hired: a consistent way to hear from employees, a real leadership development track for the wave of new managers this growth is creating, a performance management cycle that's more than a form, and an HR tooling landscape that supports the team & the managers instead of adding friction.

This role exists to improve that — to become the person who makes sure engagement data, leadership growth, and performance conversations actually take place within the organisation; the ultimate goal being to enable all employees to thrive, bring their best selves to work and go the extra mile to deliver Sunrise' compelling yet ambitious strategy.

You’ll report to the HR Director and work alongside a small, senior HR team (US and EU HR Generalists, TA Principal, TA Specialist, and a Digital Workplace & AI Enablement specialist) split across Belgium and the US. You’ll have real latitude to design these four programs largely from scratch, backed by leadership that already sees the gap and wants it closed — and real visibility, since engagement and leadership development outcomes will be reported at EXCOM level.

This is a build role, not a maintain role. If you like inheriting a mature, fully-staffed L&D or engagement function with established vendors and playbooks, this isn't it. If you want to design the playbook for a ~200-to-300-person healthcare scale-up and see your fingerprints on leadership development, people engagement & performance improvement, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Own employee engagement measurement end-to-end — design and run the engagement/pulse survey cadence, benchmark results over time, and turn findings into concrete action plans with managers and EXCOM rather than a one-off report.
• Own Learning & Development, with two clearly flagged priorities. L&D is a broad bucket and this role owns all of it, but two things matter most from day one:
• (1) leadership development — co-create Sunrise's leadership ambition hand-in-hand with EXCOM and design/deliver a leadership & manager development curriculum for first-time and existing people managers, the clear cornerstone of employee engagement;
• (2) AI adoption — build the training, habits, and team-level AI champions network that turn Sunrise's AI adoption strategy (co-led by the HR Director and the CTO) into everyday employee fluency. Everything else L&D grows
