About the role

Reporting to the SVP, People Operations, the People Operations Manager, Strategic Initiatives helps keep the People Operations function organized, connected, and moving forward. This is a hands‑on operational role at the intersection of People Operations, project coordination, and team operations.

You’ll coordinate work across key initiatives, manage the team’s operating cadence, and build practical processes that create greater clarity, consistency, and follow-through. Rather than directly supporting the employee lifecycle, you’ll support the People Operations team itself. You’ll help organize the many moving parts of the function, ensure leaders and team members have the information they need, and make it easier for the team to focus on its highest priorities.

Success in this role requires exceptional organization, strong attention to detail, sound judgment, and a willingness to step in wherever coordination or structure is needed. This is a meaningful opportunity for someone with People Operations experience who enjoys making teams work better behind the scenes. Ultimately, leaders and team members spend less time chasing information or logistics because the right systems and support are already in place.
