Senior HR Specialist (Talent Development)

At St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, every new employee’s journey begins with an introduction to our mission, culture, and community—and you will be the one to make that first impression meaningful. We are seeking a detail-oriented, process-driven professional to oversee our New Employee Orientation (NEO) program and provide broad support for HR operations. In this role, you’ll coordinate the logistics that bring learning experiences to life—room scheduling, catering, materials, and technology—while ensuring consistency, accuracy, and a seamless experience for our new hires. This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll work closely with senior specialists and HR partners, while also managing projects with independence.

The right candidate will thrive on organization and efficiency, finding satisfaction in building systems, maintaining spreadsheets, and tracking details that ensure nothing falls through the cracks. You’ll be empowered to look beyond checklists and propose continuous improvements that enhance the employee experience. If you are someone who values learning, loves bringing structure to complex processes, and takes pride in creating a welcoming, engaging start for others, this role offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact at one of the world’s most respected pediatric research hospitals.

This is a hybrid, hourly position at the senior administrative level. We are excited to hear from candidates who see the importance of this work and are excited to contribute to the success of our employees from day one.

• High School Diploma/GED required.
• Bachelor's degree preferred.
