Senior Specialist, Employee Engagement & Talent Management

Position Summary

The Senior Specialist, Employee Engagement & Talent Management is the architect and operator behind the programs that shape how people join us, grow with us, and choose to stay. This role owns IEM's enterprise onboarding strategy that supports the experience of new hires, hiring manager enablement, and measurement framework, while also contributing meaningfully to a broader portfolio of Talent Management initiatives including engagement surveys, community connection, and performance management, and career development.

As a confident, engaging facilitator, this individual brings programs to life in the room, whether it’s hosting new hire onboarding sessions, leading employee experience initiatives, or stepping in to support additional deliveries as needed.

They thrive in environments where the work is still being built, can hold multiple priorities without losing quality, and are motivated by seeing programs move from whiteboard to real impact on real people. Success looks like a workforce that is engaged on the floor, growing in capability, and ready to scale with the business.
