Talent Growth & Inclusion Program Manager (REMOTE WEST COAST) at Veeam Software in Remote, United States

Job description

• The Talent Growth & Inclusion Program Manager sits at the center of how Veeam defines, communicates, and enables career growth. Working alongside the Senior Manager, Talent Growth & Inclusion, you'll build the career architecture that tells team members what good looks like at every level and run the two performance cycles each year where those expectations get put to work.
• This is a builder role. You'll create structure where there's ambiguity, then make that structure land: in Workday, in manager conversations, and in how people make real decisions about their careers. You'll operate with autonomy, bringing higher-impact decisions to your manager and setting your own path on the rest.

Responsibilities

• Career architecture (the anchor)
• Design and maintain career paths across all 150 career tracks — critical skills, behavioral expectations, and progression criteria at each level — making independent calls within an established framework and escalating only what genuinely needs it.
• Build durable relationships with subject matter experts across functions, and establish the governance rhythms that keep career content accurate as the business changes.
• Partner across People & Culture so career architecture actively feeds Recruiting, Onboarding, Performance & Feedback, Mobility, Workforce Planning, and Rewards — spotting the gaps and proposing solutions without waiting to be asked.
• Drive the operational buildout of internal mobility: process documentation, stakeholder enablement, and a continuous improvement cadence built on real feedback.
• Advise stakeholders on how career design decisions affect equitable outcomes across populations, functions, and regions.
• Performance cycle program management
• Project manage Veeam's twice-annual performance review cycles end to end — timeline, dependencies, readiness gates, escalation paths, and post-cycle retrospective.
• Rally a diverse group of collaborators (HRBPs, Rewards, HRIS, Comms, regional leads) around a single plan, and hold the plan when priorities compete.
• Refine and launch cycle communications and manager enablement, iterating each cycle based on completion data, quality signals, and participant feedback.
• Change strategy, communications, and technology enablement
• Design communications, resources, and enablement that change how team members and managers think about career and performance tools — not just how they click through them.
• Support the Workday configuration story for career and performance: partner with HRIS/IT on design, configuration, testing, and adoption; identify opportunities to streamline workflows and apply AI capabilities to reduce manual effort.
• Translate program data into insights and recommendations — surface trends, challenge assumptions, and propose the improvement rather than reporting the number.

Requirements

• Experience in talent management, performance management, HR, or organizational development, including ownership of a recurring cyclical program
• Proven ability to run complex, interdependent workstreams independently and deliver in ambiguity with minimal supervision
• Hands-on Workday experience; configuration or testing exposure in Talent or Performance modules strongly preferred
• Strong communicator who creates clarity in complex discussions and influences without authority across functions, levels, and regions
• Track record of driving outcomes through partnership, not just coordination — you build the coalition, then deliver through it
• Analytical mindset: comfortable interpreting program data, and using AI tools to sharpen the analysis
• Growth mindset and genuine curiosity about emerging technology — you challenge the status quo and adapt the plan when conditions shift, without dropping quality
• Willingness to mentor and share knowledge with junior colleagues on the team
