Responsibilities
Drive Program Strategy & Execution: You will take loose concepts or business problems and translate them into rigorous project charters. You define the "what, why, and how," manage the timeline, and ensure the team crosses the finish line
Navigate Ambiguity: You don’t need a playbook to be effective. You can enter a chaotic situation, identify the missing pieces, and create structure where there was none
Connect the Dots: You will serve as the "glue" between the People team and the broader business. You ensure stakeholders are aligned, risks are flagged early, and no silos are formed
Master Change Management: You understand that "shipping" a program is only half the solution. You will design communication plans, messaging, and adoption strategies to ensure our distributed workforce embraces the changes you implement
Continuously Improve: You have a continuous improvement mindset and are always thinking of ways to improve things while at the same time as delivering on programs and projects
Force Multiply: You make everyone around you more effective by removing blockers, streamlining processes, and ensuring meetings are decisive and actionable
Qualification
Required
Proven Program Fluency: Experience (typically 4+ years) managing complex programs in a high-growth environment, consulting firm, or large organization. You can show us examples of messy projects you successfully delivered
High Agency & Accountability: You are a 'driver', not a passenger. You track, prioritize, and drive projects without needing to be reminded. If you get stuck, you find a way to get unstuck
Communication Range: You can discuss strategy with senior leaders one moment and coordinate logistics the next. You know how to synthesize complex data into clear narratives, and provide clear written and verbal communications to employees
Tech & Data Savviness: You are comfortable with project management tools (Monday.com, Jira) and have the ability to use data to inform decisions
An 'Impact' Mindset: You are excited by variety and opportunity for impact. You are willing to dive into a Talent Management project today and a Culture initiative tomorrow, depending on where the business needs you most
