What you'll do
Own end-to-end project management for high-profile cyclical and: transformational Total Rewards projects, from intake and scoping through go-live and handoff to program owners
Advise and embed with project teams across the Total Rewards and People: portfolio, raising the quality bar and building PM capability across the extended team, not just doing the work yourself
Build subject matter expertise across Benefits, Compensation, Equity, Talent: Mobility, and M&A — becoming a reliable strategic thought partner to pillar teams on program decisions, not just a tracker of status
Build, automate, and continuously improve the infrastructure that makes: program management repeatable and scalable: intake frameworks, project plan templates, SOPs, playbooks, and handoff checklists for common program types
Leverage AI tools in your daily work and the team's workflows, using them to: accelerate synthesis, drafting, stakeholder communications, and documentation, and actively identifying new opportunities to work faster and better
Drive cross-functional alignment across People and key partner functions: (Legal, Finance, Corporate Technology, and others), creating shared visibility into priorities, dependencies, and blockers
What they're looking for
- + years of People project, program, or operations management experience,: including at least 3 years driving multi-stakeholder, cross-functional programs end to end, ideally at a scaling or global company
- A track record of building from scratch: you've created processes, playbooks, or program infrastructure where none existed before, not just improved what was already in place
- Excellent written communication: you can produce an executive update, a stakeholder decision memo, and a practitioner playbook with equal fluency
- Strong stakeholder management across senior cross-functional partners: you drive results with a balance of urgency and thoughtfulness, and know when to push, when to align, and when to escalate
- AI expertise: you default to AI tools for synthesis, drafting, analysis, and communications, and you proactively design workflows that help the team move faster and operate at scale.
- Analytical fluency: you can work with data to build a credible narrative, identify patterns across a program portfolio, and make recommendations grounded in evidence
- A users-first mindset: you obsess over the Stripe employee experience and the operator experience, not just the project/program artifacts
- Familiarity with change management frameworks (such as Prosci ADKAR) and: judgment about when to apply structured change management vs. lighter-touch approaches
