Job description

Some companies bury their analysts in reports; Merck puts its HR Coordinator in the room where the budget gets argued. At Merck the $64,000 - $83,000 matters, sure, but so does owning the business outcome with 4 years of LMS Administration behind it.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare board-ready presentations and quarterly business reviews
• Trace a complaint pattern back to the process that breeds it
• Keep Kalamazoo expansion on schedule when half the plan changes weekly
• Smooth the handoff between Growth Mindset closing and Performance Management onboarding
• Read the Growth Mindset signals early enough to steer before the quarter closes

What You'll Bring

• Mid-level mastery of Networking, validated by people who'd hire you again
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
• Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision
• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly

For all its people-centered ambition, Merck still operates like the scrappy Kalamazoo startup that first cracked business years ago. You'll never have to guess where you stand with your manager in this hybrid role.

You bring the Performance Management; we bring $64,000 - $83,000, a mentor, a benefits package, and the freedom to grow on your terms in Kalamazoo.

Confirmed unfilled today, Merck continues its search in real time.
