"Leading with Transparency & Enthusiasm"

Allie Kelly serves as Chief Marketing Officer of Employ and possesses an incredible ability to inspire a data-driven approach that guides organizational decision-making. Her modern approach to leading high-growth companies, particularly during periods of significant change, makes her a transformational leader in HR technology and services. She is also a highly communicative leader who values transparency and visibility of critical issues within the organization.

The pioneering leader has nearly two decades of experience and expertise in driving performance across sales, product, and marketing and is a powerful force with a profound understanding of micro- and macro-economic trends, leading to actionable insights to drive scalable and sustainable growth. She brings an empathetic, passionate approach to leadership, empowering her teams to create change and search for better ways to do things.

Overseeing the shared services marketing organization for the JazzHR, Lever, Jobvite, and NXTThing brands, Allie leads the brand transformation of the business that aligns marketing, product, and sales with delivering an exceptional customer experience, while driving record revenue and customer growth. As a customer-centric marketing leader with core strengths in transformational change and growth-stage leadership, Allie is committed to leading by example and demonstrating a resilient spirit that inspires those around her.

As a powerful female leader, Allie found success at an early age. Prior to her current role, she served as Chief Marketing Officer of JazzHR. She has also held key marketing leadership positions at high-growth companies, including Attivio, SnapApp, and Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. During her career, she has received recognition as one of the Top 50 Women Leaders in SaaS from The Software Report. She also currently serves on the Fast Company Executive Board, an invitation-only professional organization of leaders who share a commitment to shaping the future of business.

Allie recognizes the importance of women supporting women, no matter what industry they are in. She is an advocate and counselor for businesswomen seeking to establish or grow their companies. One of her greatest passions is ensuring working parents have the structural support to make work- and home -life blend easier. She has singlehandedly advocated for flexible and hybrid work options, and in the companies she has led, Allie has collaborated with HR teams to establish policies and programs that extend caregiver and parental leave to working parents and other caregivers.

One of Allie’s most noticeable traits is her ability to teach. She formally and informally mentors those individuals who directly report to her and those team members looking for support. Not only does Allie provide her own time and expertise, but she also demonstrates what leadership looks like, asking her team members to challenge her regularly, push for answers, and let data drive the narrative. Her instincts for teaching and guiding others are one of her most incredible superpowers.

She inspires others around her to own their specific functional area, rallying the team and leading with compassion, humor, and intelligence. Her no-nonsense approach to leadership ensures that everyone has a voice and that team members are valued for their contributions and their individualism. Allie understands the importance of building a culture of gratitude and regularly thanks her teams for their drive, dedication, and accomplishments. Armed with this brilliant mindset, the pioneering leader has been taking the company to new heights. Employ is the most prominent modern provider of talent acquisition solutions, offering customers more choices, flexibility, and unmatched scalability through its four solutions: JazzHR, Lever, Jobvite, and NXTThing RPO. The company has more than 850 employees, working relentlessly for 18,000 customers, and supports:

• 6.5 Million Active Jobs

• 4.9 Million Hires in the past 12 months

• 500 Million Candidates

Each of these numbers represents the opportunity to make a difference for customers in the most challenging hiring environment in history. Whether companies need an easy-to-use, affordable technology powering SMB hiring with JazzHR, an end-to-end talent acquisition suite for growing companies with Lever, or unmatched capabilities and platform flexibility for large enterprises with Jobvite, Employ offers an entire portfolio of recruitment technology that delivers more predictable hiring and drives business results.

Coupled with outsourced hiring services from NXTThing RPO, Employ is unlike any provider that has ever existed in the market — or ever will.

The path to success includes many stops along the way. For Allie professionally, she is excited to help grow Employ, ultimately moving the organization to strategic exit. As a high-growth leader, she is laser-focused on ensuring the company grows organically and through acquisition to define a new category in talent acquisition. Moving from category leader to new category definition is career-defining for Allie as an executive. It is an unprecedented goal that she is already well on her way to achieving.

Allie is committed to seeing Employ to a successful exit. She also intends to continue being the best wife, mother, daughter, sister, and aunt, while supporting other women professionally and personally. The future is not fully defined, but it presents a wealth of opportunity for Allie as she determines where her journey will take her. One thing is for sure; wherever she puts her attention, she will thrive and excel.
