Job description

About The Role

The Sr. People Project Manager will be a core member of the PMO team, partnering with leaders and stakeholders across the People function to orchestrate how projects get delivered and oversee what outcomes are achieved. This role balances project management discipline, change management expertise, and cross-functional collaboration.

This opportunity is best suited to someone who thrives in environments of ambiguity and constant evolution. We are building the future of how the People function operates, and that means plans will shift, priorities will pivot, and new opportunities will emerge along the way. Success here requires intellectual curiosity, resilience, and the ability to learn and adapt quickly. For the right person, the chance to shape outcomes in real time, experiment, and continuously improve will feel like a challenge to embrace, not a barrier to overcome.

Your Impact

• Drive prioritization and execution of People-led initiatives.

• Establish and embed frameworks, governance, and best practices.

• Ensure initiatives don’t just launch, but land and stick, through strong change management and communications.

• Provide visibility and confidence to leadership by reporting on outcomes, adoption, and impact.

• Act as a partner and enabler, freeing People leaders and subject experts to focus on content, while ensuring initiatives are delivered effectively.

Requirements

• Proven program/project management experience (4+ years) within People/HR and Talent/Recruitment

• Strong expertise in project orchestration: scoping, planning, delivery tracking, risk management, and reporting

• Demonstrated ability to embed change management into projects, ensuring initiatives are adopted, not just delivered

• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to align diverse groups and influence senior leaders

• Ability to differentiate outputs vs. outcomes and build reporting frameworks that measure impact, not just delivery

• High degree of ownership, accountability, and organizational discipline

• Experience designing and embedding frameworks, governance, or PMO practices in a People or HR environment

• Knowledge of agile and sprint-based delivery models, including retrospectives and continuous improvement practices

• Background in cross-functional collaboration with functions such as IT, Finance, Legal, or People Operations

• Familiarity with data-informed project delivery, including using OKRs, KPIs, and dashboards to track success

• Comfort facilitating intake and prioritization processes, ensuring alignment on what projects take priority

• Experience working in fast-paced, remote-first environments with distributed global teams.

• Strong facilitation skills (e.g., running workshops, retros, office hours, or stakeholder training)

Preferred Requirements

• Prior experience in People PMO functions (or similar roles in People Ops/People Experience).

• Background in communications or employee engagement programs as part of project delivery.

• Web3 or blockchain industry experience, or experience in a high-growth, remote-first tech environment.

• Global experience: ability to design scalable solutions across multiple geographies and cultures.

• Certification(s) in Project Management (PMP, PRINCE2, Agile, Prosci, etc.).
