• Drive process evaluation and continuous improvement efforts to streamline delivery and enhance employee experience
• Anticipate and resolve delivery challenges, balancing business needs and technical constraints
• Foster a collaborative environment that encourages innovation, learning, and cross-team problem-solving

What We’re Looking For

• At least 6 years of project or program management experience, preferably with exposure to IT, HR, workplace, or employee experience initiatives
• Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders, including technical and non-technical teams
• Strong technical acumen with direct system experience a plus (Service Now, Workday, Greenhouse, Confluence, etc.)
• Strong organizational, problem-solving, and analytical skills
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels
• Proficiency in project management and collaboration tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, MS Project, Teams, Slack)
• Proven ability to thrive in ambiguity and adapt quickly to shifting priorities
• Familiarity with HRIS, workplace, or enterprise tools (e.g., Workday, ServiceNow, space management systems)
• High attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes

What Will Help You Stand Out

• Experience in a fast-paced, global technology or entertainment company
• Experience working across global teams and understanding international business nuances
• Bachelor’s degree in business, technology, or a related discipline; PMP, CSM, or equivalent certifications are a plus
