Enterprise Program Execution

  • Ensure disciplined execution of cross-functional, company-wide initiatives (e.g., technology rollouts, operational transformations, new service implementations)
  • Establish frameworks to plan, track, and deliver strategic programs at scale
  • Drive alignment across operations, technology, HR, and finance to ensure initiatives land effectively in the field
  • Identify execution risks early and drive course correction and accountability
  • Ensure initiatives translate into measurable operational and financial outcomes, not just activity

Organizational Effectiveness & Talent Discipline

  • Drive consistency in operating playbooks and field execution standards across regions
  • Partner with the CHRO to strengthen performance management systems and rigor
  • Help implement and scale high-potential identification and development programs
  • Support succession planning for key operational and regional leadership roles
  • Ensure talent decisions are aligned with business performance and strategic priorities
  • Reinforce a culture of accountability, coaching, and measurable performance outcomes

  • Background in field-based operations (e.g., security, facilities, logistics, services) preferred
  • Strong exposure to P&L management, forecasting, and financial modeling
  • Track record of building operating cadences and KPI-driven organizations
  • Experience leading large-scale, cross-functional programs or transformations
  • Experience partnering with HR/People teams on performance and talent systems

Capabilities

  • Structured and systems-oriented — drives rigor in performance, programs, and people processes
  • Strong program leadership — ensures initiatives are executed consistently across a distributed organization
  • Executive presence — able to influence and challenge senior leaders
  • Analytical depth + practical judgment — not just reporting, but decision-shaping

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
