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

  • 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 followthrough. 

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

  • 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
