Synthesia is the world’s leading AI video platform for business, used by over 90% of the Fortune 100. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in London, with offices and teams across Europe and the US.

As AI continues to shape the way we live and work, Synthesia develops products to enhance visual communication and enterprise skill development, helping people work better and stay at the center of successful organizations.

Following our recent Series E funding round, where we raised $200 million, our valuation stands at $4 billion. Our total funding exceeds $530 million from premier investors including Accel, NVentures (Nvidia's VC arm), Kleiner Perkins, GV, and Evantic Capital, alongside the founders and operators of Stripe, Datadog, Miro, and Webflow.

The Role

We’re looking for an Onboarding & Employee Enablement Manager who will design and run the end‑to‑end onboarding experience at Synthesia.

This role sits at the intersection of program management, learning design, and employee experience. You’ll create a structured, welcoming, and high‑impact onboarding journey that helps new hires ramp quickly while feeling genuinely excited to be here.

You’ll collaborate closely with leaders across the company—especially engineering, product, and design—to ensure our onboarding programs are relevant, modern, and continuously evolving.

This role is ideal for someone who combines a hospitality mindset with a technical/program management background, enjoys building systems and content (yes, lots of Synthesia videos!), and is excited about leveraging AI and automation to reinvent how companies learn and onboard.

Over time, this role will expand into broader employee enablement and learning programs, shaping how Synthesia develops talent internally.

What You’ll Do

Own Synthesia’s onboarding program
- Design and run the end‑to‑end onboarding experience for all new hires
- Ensure every new joiner quickly understands our product, culture, and how to be effective here
- Focus relentlessly on reducing time to impact for new employees
- Build a clear onboarding journey across the first week, month, and 90 days

Create an exceptional new hire experience
- Deliver a warm, thoughtful, and structured onboarding experience without overwhelming new hires
- Facilitate onboarding sessions, welcome presentations, and orientation programs
- Continuously gather feedback and improve the experience

Build role‑specific onboarding tracks
- Design tailored onboarding for managers, engineers, product managers, and product designers
- Work closely with technical leaders to ensure content is meaningful and relevant

Build the internal knowledge and enablement system
- Create and maintain onboarding materials, documentation, guides, and playbooks
- Keep onboarding content continuously updated as the company evolves
- Build scalable enablement assets (videos, decks, learning modules, AI‑driven resources)

Run programs that help teams succeed
- Expand into broader learning and training initiatives over time
- Experiment with AI‑driven learning and automation to scale internal training
- Develop programs that support ongoing growth across teams

Partner across the company
- Collaborate with engineering, product, design, PeopleOps, and leadership
- Translate technical topics into engaging learning experiences
- Work with managers to help them onboard their teams effectively

Craft internal communication moments
- Support internal communications and company‑wide updates
- Help craft and run All Hands presentations and internal storytelling moments

Who You Are

We’re less interested in a specific title and more interested in the mindset and capabilities.

You might come from program management, engineering or technical roles, learning & enablement, product or people operations, or startup operations.

Program builder mentality
- You love building systems, frameworks, and programs from scratch
- You’re highly organized and comfortable managing complex projects

Technical fluency

Builder with strong taste

- You’re excited about using AI to reinvent learning and onboarding

Passion for AI
- You’re curious about AI and excited about Synthesia’s mission
- You think about how AI can change how organizations learn and communicate

What Success Looks Like

In your first year:
- New hires ramp faster and more confidently
- Managers have clear frameworks for onboarding their teams
- Engineering and product onboarding becomes structured and scalable
- Synthesia has a best‑in‑class onboarding experience
- Learning programs begin to scale using AI‑first approaches

Why This Role Is Unique

This isn’t a traditional HR onboarding role.

You’ll be:
- Designing the system that shapes how people join and learn at Synthesia
- Working closely with technical teams
- Experimenting with AI‑driven learning
- Building something that will impact every single employee we hire

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
