Human Resources (HR) partners with leaders and employees across the organization to shape an inclusive, high-performing workplace. The team supports the full employee lifecycle—talent acquisition and onboarding, performance and development, total rewards, employee relations, HR operations, and organizational effectiveness—by delivering scalable programs, processes, and tools.

  • Partner with HR leaders, HR sub‑functions (e.g., Talent, Total Rewards, HR Operations, HRBPs), and business stakeholders to align on goals, deliverables, and sequencing of work.

  • Facilitate project meetings, working sessions, and stakeholder updates that drive clarity, accountability, and timely decision‑making.

  • Identify, track, and proactively address project risks, issues, and dependencies; escalate as needed to maintain momentum and delivery.

  • Apply consistent project management standards, tools, and documentation across HR projects to improve visibility and execution discipline.

  • Support change management activities by coordinating communications, readiness milestones, and adoption tracking for HR programs and process changes.

  • Contribute to continuous improvement of HR project delivery practices by identifying opportunities to streamline planning, execution, and collaboration.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 6+ years of project management experience managing complex cross-functional projects within HR, such as performance cycles, compensation programs, talent initiatives, workforce processes, or HR operations improvements.

  • Proficiency with project management methodologies and tools used to plan, track, and communicate work (e.g., project plans, risk logs, status reporting, dependency tracking)

  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail, timelines, and follow‑through.

  • Experience partnering with HR leaders and business stakeholders to clarify requirements, align on priorities, and support decision‑making.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce clear status updates, meeting recaps, and project documentation.

  • Experience supporting change management and adoption activities for HR programs or process changes.

  • Ability to identify risks and dependencies and drive timely resolutions.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Project management certification (e.g., PMP, CAPM, Agile/Scrum fundamentals) is a plus.

  • Strong working knowledge of HR functions and processes (e.g., Talent Management, Total Rewards, HR Operations, HR Business Partnering).

  • Background working in a global, fast‑paced technology organization.
