Role Overview 

The HR Program Manager is a partner to the HR leader, helping drive alignment, execution, and operating discipline across the HR organization. This role is designed to be a force multiplier, ensuring that strategic HR priorities are translated into clear plans, coordinated actions, measurable outcomes, and sustained momentum across the HRBP team and key functional partners. 

The successful candidate will operate as an integrator, orchestrator, and problem solver — connecting work across teams, identifying gaps or dependencies, surfacing risks early, and helping the organization execute with greater clarity and discipline. 

At its best, this role enables the broader HR team to scale their impact by ensuring initiatives move forward, leadership rhythms run smoothly, decisions are documented, and priorities remain aligned across stakeholders. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Connect work across HRBPs, HR Centers of Excellence, business partners, and key stakeholders. 

• Identify gaps, overlaps, dependencies, and risks across HR initiatives. 

• Translate strategic direction into clear actions, owners, timelines, and deliverables. 

• Drive follow-through on key leadership decisions and ensure progress does not stall. 

• Help create standard work, project structures, and execution mechanisms that improve consistency across the HR team. 

• Synthesize inputs across multiple leaders and teams into clear themes, recommendations, and action plans. 

• Build and maintain the cadence for HR leadership meetings, HRBP syncs, COE connections, monthly business reviews, quarterly business reviews, and other key operating forums. 

• Prepare agendas, pre-read materials, briefing documents, and follow-up actions. 

• Ensure meetings are structured around decisions, risks, priorities, and measurable outcomes. 

• Partner with HR leaders and HRBPs to gather inputs, validate content, and prepare high-quality materials. 

• Build project plans, timelines, milestone trackers, and governance routines. 

• Coordinate stakeholder input across HRBPs, COEs, business leaders, and enabling functions. 

• Schedule and facilitate project checkpoints, working sessions, and phase-gate reviews.

• Synthesize updates, insights, and decision points for HR leadership. 

• Ensure projects move from concept to execution with clear ownership, deliverables, and outcomes. 

• Support initiatives related to workforce strategy, organizational design, talent planning, performance management, employee relations, operating model effectiveness, and HR transformation. 

• Partner with HRBPs and analytics partners to identify relevant metrics, dashboards, and review materials. 

• Support prep
