About The Position

We’re looking for a Talent & Engagement Program Manager to lead the design, execution, and continuous improvement of enterprise talent and engagement programs. This role sits at the intersection of performance management, learning and development, employee engagement, and compliance, with real ownership over how these programs scale and deliver impact. This is a builder role. You’ll translate strategy into well-run, measurable programs, bring structure to complexity, and ensure our talent systems and learning experiences actually change behavior. You’ll be hands-on with Workday, learning technologies, instructional design, and analytics, while also partnering closely with HRBPs, HRIS, Quality, EHS, and Legal to ensure programs meet business, compliance, and ISO 9000 requirements. The ideal candidate brings strong program management instincts, sharp systems thinking, and a bias for outcomes. You care as much about adoption and impact as you do about design and delivery.

Requirements

5–8 years of progressive experience in Talent Management, Learning & Development, HR Programs, or related HR roles.
3–5 years of hands-on experience administering and optimizing Workday Performance and Learning modules.
Strong instructional design experience, with proficiency in tools such as Articulate, Synthesia, LRN, and PowerPoint.
Demonstrated success designing blended and AI-enabled learning programs at scale.
Solid background in people and HR analytics, including dashboard development in Workday and Power BI.
Experience supporting compliance training and ISO 9000 standards strongly preferred.
Proven ability to manage multiple complex programs simultaneously and deliver results.
Strong communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills.
