People Experience Program Manager

As People Experience Program Manager, you’ll focus on the details behind the employee experience, getting into the smaller interactions, handoffs and moments that shape how employees and managers experience People Team support.

You’ll look at how things work today, understand where there is friction or unnecessary effort, and help find better ways of doing things. You’ll work across the People team to connect the details of individual experiences with the wider employee journey, making sure improvements are joined up rather than solving one problem in isolation.

Working in our London Bridge office 3 days a week and reporting to the Senior Manager, People Experience, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional process owners to embed an intuitive employee and manager perspective into the core operations supporting our wider People Experience.

This is a role for someone who enjoys getting into the details, spotting patterns, challenging how things are done, and turning problems into practical improvements. You’ll work with People Experience, People Operations, People Business Partners, Centers of Excellence and Technology teams, bringing a broad view of how People support works across Dow Jones.
