About the Role:

The Senior People Strategy & Programs Manager is the connective tissue of the People team - the person who picks up the problem before it has a name, figures out whether it needs a quick fix or a lasting solution, and sees it through either way. This role sits within the People Operations and Strategy team, working closely with the Sr. Director of People Operations , spanning People Strategy & Operations, Analytics & Insights, New Hire Programs, Talent Management, and HR Compliance & Governance.

You will serve as a trusted thought partner and a highly autonomous executor. You will be the first call when something doesn’t neatly fit anyone’s lane - and you’ll know when to move fast and when to build for scale.

What You'll Be Working On:

• Diagnose and Solve Ambiguous Problems

  • Pick up nascent, undefined problems and determine the right level of solution — a scrappy one-time fix or a systemic change with rollout and change management.

  • Operate with limited information and high stakes, asking the right questions to bring clarity before others have framed the issue.

  • Distinguish between one-off situations and recurring patterns; build durable infrastructure when it’s warranted.

• Act as a Trusted Partner to People Leadership

  • Serve as a brainstorming partner and sounding board to the Sr. Director of People.

  • Translate high-level strategic objectives into actionable operational frameworks, developing repeatable playbooks, standardized processes, and evaluation frameworks to ensure consistent execution at scale.

  • Exercise strong judgment about when to escalate, when to loop in others, and when to just solve it.

  • Manage the internal operating rhythm of the People team, facilitating strategic planning sessions, tracking departmental OKRs/goals, and ensuring accountability across sub-functions on core priorities.

  • Synthesize cross-functional data and qualitative insights into executive narratives, helping draft high-leverage communications, board materials, or quarterly business reviews (QBRs) for People team leadership.

• Drive Cross-Functional Initiatives End to End

  • Own projects from scoping through delivery, managing timelines, stakeholders, and communications.

  • Serve as an operational force multiplier for functional leads, streamlining manager and employee enablement and managing cross-team handoffs from initial launch all the way through stabilization.

  • Bring the right people into the conversation at the right time — neither siloing nor over-involving.

  • Orchestrate the People team’s readiness for complex initiatives like geographic expansion, partnering with Compliance, Onboarding, Benefits, Payroll, Compensation, and People Operations specialists to synchronize timelines, map dependencies, and ensure a seamless launch.

  • Influence without authority across functions and levels of the organization.

• Build 0→1 in a Dynamic Environment

  • Design and stand up new programs, processes, or frameworks where none exist.

  • Research best practices and adapt them to Crusoe’s context and stage. ○ Build with the right level of rigor — scalable where it matters, lightweight where it doesn’t.

  • Codify institutional knowledge into reusable playbooks, ensuring that once a new process or program is successfully stabilized, it is documented and seamlessly handed off to core operational teams.

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• 8–10+ years HR experience as a generalist, specialist, project manager or program manager.

• HR fluency: You don’t need to be an HRBP, but you understand how people functions work — the language, the levers, and the landmines.

• Strong risk barometer: You can sense when something is a minor issue vs. a legal, cultural, or operational risk, and you respond accordingly.

• Autonomous problem-solving: You don’t wait to be handed a playbook. You research, synthesize, and propose.

• Discretion: You handle sensitive information with care and know what to say, to whom, and when.

• Comfort with ambiguity: You thrive when the scope is undefined and the path isn’t clear.

• Organized: You manage projects end to end, stay organized under pressure, and bring structure to chaos.

• Cross-functional influence: You’ve worked across teams and can earn trust and drive alignment without formal authority.

Bonus Points

• Experience in a People Ops or HR Strategy at a high-growth company.

• Track record of building programs or processes from scratch.

• Exposure to multiple People sub-functions (e.g., talent management, compliance, new hire programs, analytics, compensation, recruiting).

• Experience with change management and cross-functional rollouts.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation and equity packages

• Restricted Stock Units

• Paid time off, paid holidays & leave of absence programs

• Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance

• Employer contributions to HSA account

• Paid parental leave

• Paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability

• Professional development & tuition reimbursement

• Mental health & wellness support

• Commuter benefits (parking & transit)

• Cell phone stipend

• 401(k) Retirement plan with company match up to 4% of salary

• Volunteer time off

• Global travel insurance & emergency assistance

• Daily meals allowance

• Additional perks & programs specific to location
