HR Compliance Program Manager

Role Overview

• Manage and drive progress across the full portfolio of HR compliance projects — maintaining line of sight on timelines, owners, status, and risk.
• Proactively surface at-risk workstreams and escalate before they become problems.
• Own the Asana-based project management system and ensure adoption across stakeholders.
• Serve as the connector between Legal, HR COEs (Compensation, Benefits, Talent Acquisition, HRT, Payroll), and regional HR teams.
• Ensure that compliance actions identified through legal analysis, regulatory changes, or gap assessments are properly assigned and integrated into each COE's operating rhythm — not parked in a tracking spreadsheet.
• Support and lead compliance council meetings, maintain reporting mechanisms, and prepare dashboards and executive-ready materials for Compliance Council leadership and executive sponsors.
• Provide clear, honest reads on program health — not just status updates, but insight into where we're ahead, where we're behind, and what it means.
• Triage compliance-related updates from multiple sources — legislative changes, audit findings, legal advisories, internal assessments — and route them to the appropriate COE.
• Engage legal counsel to define requirements and assess risk.
• Help develop solutions to close gaps and continuously refine the overall program.
• Develop and deliver compliance-related training, communications, and documentation.
• Ensure HR teams and people leaders understand their compliance obligations and that the right materials exist to support consistent execution.
• Stay current on changes to federal, state/provincial, and local employment laws, regulations, and industry best practices across U.S. and Canada jurisdictions. Recommend updates to policies and program priorities as the landscape evolves.

• Strong organizational and analytical skills — able to manage multiple priorities, synthesize information from disparate sources, and deliver clear outputs
