About The Position

Reporting directly to the Chief People & Places Officer (CPPO), the People & Places Program Manager sits at the intersection of strategic initiative management and day-to-day operational support — enabling the CPPO and the broader People & Places leadership team to move faster and with greater impact. You'll own the program management of special initiatives tied to our longer-term people strategy, support ad hoc projects across the function, and serve as a trusted operational partner to the CPPO through calendar management, travel coordination, and expense reporting. Working at this level of the People & Places function means you'll see how strategic decisions get made, how priorities shift in real time, and what it takes to build and sustain a high-performing organization. It's a meaningful opportunity for someone in their career who is curious, proactive, and ready to contribute from day one.

Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities without losing quality or composure.
Excellent written and verbal communication; you write clearly and know how to tailor a message to the audience.
Discretion and good judgment — you'll be trusted with confidential information and will handle it accordingly.
