• Partner with HR, Communications, and Employee Resource Group (ERG) leaders to coordinate key moments, campaigns, events, and recognition opportunities.

• Maintain and manage the employee engagement and events calendar to keep employees informed, connected, and inspired.

• Bring our Employer Value Proposition (EVP) to life through thoughtful programming and storytelling.

• Analyze culture survey results and collaborate with business areas to develop and implement meaningful action plans.

• Partner with the Data Analytics team to analyze hiring, promotion, and retention data to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.

• Gather, track, and analyze data related to workforce inclusion initiatives and outcomes.

• Support Employee Resource Groups by helping coordinate activities, communications, and engagement efforts.

• Assist with research and benchmarking of inclusion best practices and competitor approaches to inform recommendations and continuous improvement.

• Partner with HR to support recruitment outreach efforts and inclusive hiring practices.

• Contribute to initiatives that strengthen diverse talent pipelines and enhance the candidate and employee experience.

• 3–5 years of experience in Diversity & Inclusion, Human Resources, Employee Experience, or a related function (financial services experience preferred).

• Strong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple initiatives and deadlines.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with experience collaborating across teams and stakeholder groups.

• Data literacy and comfort working with surveys, dashboards, and reporting tools.

• A passion for inclusion, employee engagement, and continuous learning.
