The Director, Culture & Inclusion is the enterprise culture transformation and inclusion leader. Reporting to the Executive Director, Culture & Inclusion, this role owns the culture activation plan, partners closely with HRBPs to understand micro-cultures across functions and regions, and ensures that Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Inclusion Councils are integrated into the overall culture engine. You will translate company values from aspiration into everyday actions through experiential programming, intentional change management, and disciplined measurement that connects culture work to business outcomes.
This is a role that requires both strategic thinking and a willingness to roll up your sleeves. You’ll design the frameworks and then facilitate the sessions. You’ll advise senior leaders on culture and then build the tracker that shows whether the work is landing. You’ll advance our ERG strategy and then partner directly with co-chairs to bring it to life. You’ll drive measurable change, build leader capability in collaboration with the broader HR team, and keep disciplined focus on impact.
This role is based at our Sleepy Hollow, NY location with a minimum of 4 days onsite required - this is not open to fully remote or hybrid work.

Set the strategic direction for the company’s ERGs, ensuring each operates with clear goals, strong governance, visible business alignment, and executive sponsor engagement.
Oversee the multi-tiered Inclusion Council governance structure ensuring councils function as strategic infrastructure rather than programmatic add-ons.
Partner directly with ERG co-chairs and executive sponsors to elevate programming quality, strengthen leadership pipelines within ERGs, and connect ERG work to enterprise culture priorities.
Partner with the Executive Director on the development of trust index, including integration of culture and inclusion items into the enterprise engagement survey.

Serve as a culture advisor to HRBPs, partnering on function- and region-specific needs
Coach leaders to role-model values-aligned behaviors and leadership expectations, building leader capability in collaboration with the broader HR team.
Work closely with the Talent team to ensure culture is integrated into talent and performance processes.
