What is an HR program manager?

HR Program Managers are professionals responsible for designing, implementing, and overseeing human resources programs within an organization. They manage initiatives such as employee development, diversity and inclusion, performance management, and organizational change. Their role involves collaborating with various departments to ensure HR programs align with business goals, tracking program effectiveness, and ensuring compliance with relevant policies and laws. Effective HR Program Managers combine project management skills with deep knowledge of HR best practices to drive organizational success.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an HR program manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as an HR Program Manager, you need expertise in human resources practices, organizational development, and project management, often supported by a bachelor's degree in HR or a related field and relevant experience. Familiarity with HR information systems (HRIS), project management software, and certifications like SHRM-CP or PMP are typically required. Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills help you manage programs effectively and foster positive workplace culture. These skills are crucial for designing and implementing HR initiatives that align with business goals and ensure organizational success.

How does an HR program manager typically collaborate with other departments to implement new HR initiatives?

As an HR Program Manager, you will work closely with department heads, line managers, and cross-functional teams to ensure the successful rollout of HR programs, such as talent development or employee engagement initiatives. This often involves conducting needs assessments, aligning program objectives with business goals, and facilitating communication between HR and other departments. Regular meetings, workshops, and feedback sessions are common practices to ensure all stakeholders are involved and informed. Effective collaboration helps drive adoption and ensures that HR initiatives deliver measurable value across the organization.

This is a rare opportunity to contribute to what is the largest data center build ever brought to Michigan, working alongside industry-leading professionals on a multi-billion-dollar, mission-critical program.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out

✅ Be part of the largest data center project in Michigan history

✅ Support next-generation AI and cloud infrastructure

✅ Join a long-term, high-profile program with significant visibility

✅ Work directly with project leadership and key stakeholders

✅ Influence quality standards, governance, and delivery across the entire project


Key Responsibilities
  • Develop, implement, and manage a comprehensive QA/QC program.
  • Establish quality standards, inspection protocols, testing procedures, and reporting frameworks.
  • Create and monitor quality metrics and performance indicators.
  • Lead quality audits, compliance reviews, and corrective action initiatives.
  • Drive accountability across contractors, consultants, vendors, and project teams.
  • Support commissioning, turnover, and project closeout activities.
  • Identify quality risks and proactively implement mitigation strategies.
  • Collaborate with leadership to ensure quality objectives align with project milestones and schedules.
  • Manage quality documentation, reporting, and workflows using industry-standard technology platforms.
  • Promote a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence throughout the project lifecycle.

Required Qualifications
  • Experience leading QA/QC, Program Management, or Project Management efforts on large-scale construction, infrastructure, industrial, mission-critical, or technology-driven projects.
  • Strong understanding of quality systems, inspections, audits, compliance, reporting, and process improvement.
  • Experience utilizing Bluebeam or Procore.
  • Ability to drive results and influence cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities within a complex project environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Hyperscale data center experience.
  • Experience building or enhancing enterprise-level QA/QC programs.
  • Commissioning, turnover, or operational readiness experience.
  • PMP, CQE, CMQ/OE, or related certifications.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate combines quality expertise with a strong program management mindset. You'll be comfortable creating structure, establishing processes, managing stakeholder relationships, and driving accountability across large project teams.

While owner-side experience is highly preferred, we are open to exceptional candidates from contractor or consulting environments who can demonstrate strong leadership, quality program experience, and the ability to operate at a strategic level.
