Developing the Next Generation of Leaders: RISE at Houzz At Houzz, we’re always looking for ways to invest in our people, both the work they do today and the roles they’ll grow into next. That’s the thinking behind RISE, a seven-month internal leadership program designed to help individual contributors build the influence, confidence and skills needed to take the next step in their careers. Open to Houzzers across global teams and regions, the program combines structured learning, executive mentorship and cross-functional capstone projects. It challenges participants to stretch themselves by collaborating with peers outside their day-to-day roles to tackle real business problems together. We sat down with a group of this year’s RISE participants across engineering, product, support, sales and events. They shared what motivated them to apply, how the experience broadened their strategic thinking and their advice for future applicants.
