  • Partner with HR leaders and initiative sponsors to define success, structure work, and translate vision into delivery.
  • Prepare clear, compelling updates and insights for HR Leadership and executive audiences, synthesizing complex information into actionable recommendations.
  • Identify and resolve roadblocks, risks, and integration points across initiatives.
  • Promote consistency and scalability by standardizing how work is scoped, executed, and reported across the HR portfolio.
  • Drive closure and sustainability by documenting outputs, transitions, and key learnings from completed initiatives.

What You Bring

  • Experience working across multiple HR domains (e.g., HRSS, Talent, Total Rewards, Ops, Tech).
  • Proficiency in project collaboration and planning tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Miro, Teams).
  • A collaborative, resourceful, and growth‑oriented mindset that matches our team culture.
