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.

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.
