Talent Programs Manager

onX • Bozeman, MT

19h • Remote

About The Position

onX is seeking a Talent Programs Manager to own the operational backbone that ensures our hiring, onboarding, and learning programs run smoothly, consistently, and at scale. This role sits at the center of the talent lifecycle—from candidate experience through onboarding and into learning—and is responsible for delivering high-quality, well-coordinated experiences that feel seamless and intentional. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, owning execution across multiple programs while identifying opportunities to simplify, streamline, and improve how our systems work over time. This is not a task-based coordination role—you are expected to bring structure, judgment, and follow-through to complex, evolving work. This role owns outcomes, not just tasks. You’ll partner closely with Recruiting, People Operations, and Learning & Development to ensure our talent programs are connected, scalable, and continuously improving. This role sits within the How We Find, Onboard, and Grow Our Talent team and reports to the Organizational Development & Learning Director.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in program coordination, operations, or project management, with a track record of owning and executing coordination-heavy workstreams or programs from planning through delivery.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously, keeping timelines, stakeholders, and details aligned without close oversight.
• Strong project management discipline—you proactively track what needs to happen, anticipate dependencies, and ensure work is delivered on time and with high quality.
• Experience operating with autonomy in evolving or ambiguous environments, where you’re expected to bring structure, make decisions, and keep work moving forward.
• A high bar for organization and execution, with the ability to manage complexity and volume while maintaining accuracy and a consistent experience.
• A continuous improvement mindset, with a track record of identifying inefficiencies and making processes more scalable and effective.
• Interest in growing into Learning & Development as a longer-term career path, with curiosity about how programs drive behavior change and business impact.
• Comfort exploring and adopting new tools and technologies, including AI, to improve workflows and scale operations.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
• Permanent US work authorization is a condition of employment with onX.
• Ability to travel for multiple days to a corporate office or other onX strategic location, such as a Basecamp.

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting or running onboarding, learning, or talent development programs.
• Exposure to Learning & Development, Organizational Development, or People & Culture environments.
• Experience facilitating or co-facilitating workshops, trainings, or group sessions.
• Familiarity with tools such as ATS (e.g., Greenhouse), HRIS, LMS platforms, or program management tools.

Responsibilities

• Own the coordination and execution of onboarding across the full 12-month experience, ensuring a consistent, high-quality experience and identifying opportunities to improve clarity, flow, and impact over time.
• Deliver a consistent, high-quality onboarding experience that sets teammates up to do the best work of their career at onX.
• Support the rollout of onboarding content, experiences, and in-person moments designed by the Director of Organizational Development & Learning.
• Ensure a seamless transition from candidate to fully ramped team member, with strong coordination across teams and systems.
• Own the operational engine behind our learning programs, ensuring they run smoothly, scale effectively, and deliver a high-quality experience.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve how learning programs are delivered, coordinated, and scaled across the organization.
• Coordinate logistics for leadership development, capability building, and AI fluency programs, including cohort management, scheduling, communications, and materials.
• Partner with the Events Coordinator to deliver in-person and distributed learning experiences across HQs and Basecamps.
• Support production and packaging of learning content (decks, guides, reinforcement assets) designed by the Director.
• Ensure clear, timely communication across all learning initiatives so team members can access and engage in development opportunities.
• Track participation, engagement, and feedback, producing clear summaries that inform iteration and improvement.
• Own the structure and hygiene of People & Culture and onboarding-related knowledge in Confluence, ensuring content is clear, current, and easy to navigate.
• Identify gaps, inefficiencies, or points of friction in existing processes and take ownership of improving them through better systems, tools, or workflows.
• Maintain the learning resource library and LMS pathways, ensuring a clean, consistent, and intuitive learner experience.
• Partner with People Operations to support scalable, connected processes across the employee lifecycle.
• Identify opportunities to reduce manual work through automation, templates, and AI tools.
• Maintain clean tracking across program participation, flow, and key operational metrics.
• Own execution across multiple programs and workstreams, proactively managing timelines, dependencies, and risks to ensure consistent, high-quality delivery.
• Bring consistency and reliability to how programs are executed across the talent lifecycle.
• Close loops and ensure details are handled without losing sight of the overall experience.
• Proactively identify and resolve issues to keep work moving forward.
• Partner with Recruiting to support a smooth and consistent transition from offer acceptance through day one, ensuring key pre-boarding moments are well-coordinated and feel thoughtful.
• Contribute to shaping a more connected candidate-to-employee experience by identifying gaps and supporting lightweight touchpoints that reinforce connection and readiness before the start date.
• Support employer brand efforts in partnership with Recruiting, helping translate internal initiatives and programs into candidate-facing messaging (e.g., job announcements, onboarding communications, LinkedIn content).
• Provide input on opportunities to improve the overall candidate experience, partnering closely with Recruiting to ensure alignment and consistency.
