• Drive Program Strategy & Execution: You will take loose concepts or business problems and translate them into rigorous project charters. You define the "what, why, and how," manage the timeline, and ensure the team crosses the finish line.

• Communication Range: You can discuss strategy with senior leaders one moment and coordinate logistics the next. You know how to synthesize complex data into clear narratives, and provide clear written and verbal communications to employees.
• Tech & Data Savviness: You are comfortable with project management tools (Monday.com, Jira) and have the ability to use data to inform decisions. Familiarity with HR systems (Workday, Greenhouse) is a bonus.
• An "Impact" Mindset: You are excited by variety and opportunity for impact. You are willing to dive into a Talent Management project today and a Culture initiative tomorrow, depending on where the business needs you most.
