About this role

Crusoe is seeking a People Programs Specialist for a 12-month contract based in Denver, Colorado to support core talent programs and HR systems.

Role Overview

The People Programs Specialist will assist the Talent Management team with building and rolling out essential talent initiatives, including job architecture, performance management, and system administration. Because many of these frameworks are currently in development, the work focuses heavily on construction and execution rather than routine maintenance. Responsibilities include transforming high-level program decisions into finished deliverables, such as comprehensive job profile libraries, tested Workday configurations, and timely review cycles. The candidate will navigate a uniquely diverse workforce spanning skilled tradespeople, electrical engineers, and machine learning researchers.

Key Responsibilities

Complete remaining job family and leveling builds by drafting job profiles, mapping roles, and resolving gaps alongside stakeholders.
Maintain source-of-truth architecture files and manage administrative tasks to ensure ongoing accuracy.
Support rollouts by developing manager communications, toolkits, FAQs, mapping review sessions, and handling escalation triage.
Partner on the configuration and testing of Workday performance appraisal modules, including requirements documentation, test scripting, UAT coordination, and defect tracking.
Build process documentation and admin runbooks to maintain system supportability following go-live.
Manage the operational backbone of review cycles by overseeing launch setups, population logic, cycle monitoring, reminder schedules, and completion reporting.
Provide first-line support and troubleshooting for managers and ESPs regarding in-cycle issues.
Assist with talent reviews, career pathway documentation, program effectiveness reporting, and ad hoc analyses.

Requirements

Three to six years of professional experience in People or HR programs, talent management, or HR operations.
Demonstrated practical experience working with job architecture, competency frameworks, or job profile management.
Strong documentation discipline paired with exceptional attention to detail.
Clear written communication skills tailored for manager- and executive-facing materials.
Comfortable navigating ambiguity within a fast-moving, rapidly changing corporate environment.
Active use of artificial intelligence tools to accelerate drafting, data analysis, and documentation tasks.

Nice to Have

Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Organizational Development, Business, or equivalent practical experience.
Hands-on experience utilizing Workday, specifically within HCM, Talent, or Performance modules.
Familiarity with Lattice administration or alternative platforms such as Culture Amp and 15Five.
Prior experience assisting with a performance management redesign or a major system migration.
