Work together win together: The HR Program Manager will report to the Director of Human Resources and will partner directly with the Vice President, Human Resources (VP of HR) supporting the Engineering and Delivery organization.

Effective change management will minimize disruptions and help employees adapt more quickly, ensuring business continuity.
Risk Management and Compliance: The HR Program Manager will help the VP of HR by ensuring that all HR projects comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
