About The Position

At Corgan, we’re passionate about great design but the best thing we build is each other. Here, you’ll find camaraderie and collaboration as abundantly as curiosity and creativity. Corgan is a welcoming, supportive environment that offers room to grow, freedom to explore and the safety to fail. We’re looking for a strategic, hands-on Employee Experience & HR Programs Manager who knows how to turn ideas into meaningful, measurable experiences. This role is not a passenger, it’s a driver. You will own programs end-to-end: from concept to design to execution to measurement—shaping how our people experience Corgan across the entire employee lifecycle. This role sits at the intersection of employee experience, engagement, inclusion & belonging, and firm culture. You’ll bring a strong point of view, curiosity, and the discipline to turn strategy into reality while building trust and alignment at every level of the organization.

Requirements

• Strategic + execution strength: A thinker and a doer who can zoom out and dive in
• Global program experience: Demonstrated success designing, socializing, and scaling people & culture initiatives
• Executive presence & high EQ: You communicate with clarity, confidence, and situational awareness
• Curiosity: You ask better questions, explore new ideas, and continuously improve what exists
• Comfort with ambiguity: You bring structure and direction where there isn’t a clear path
• Influence: Ability to build trust and gain alignment across all levels, including senior leadership
• Strong project management: High discipline, organization, and follow-through
• Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, Education, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 8+ years of experience in HR, Employee Experience, or related roles
• 5+ years of experience leading inclusion & belonging or engagement initiatives
