About the role

The Staffing Program Manager will own the end-to-end contingent worker lifecycle, manage staffing agency vendor relationships, and ensure compliance and consistency across the program. Reporting to the Director of Talent Acquisition, this role will be responsible for process improvements and driving towards global consistency.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end contingent worker lifecycle, from approved request through contract, onboarding, communications, compliance, ongoing management, manager/shift changes, time tracking, and offboarding or conversion to FTE
  • Manage staffing agency vendor relationships, including SLA performance, contract renewals and rate negotiations, compliance requirements, and consolidation strategy as the program matures
  • Serve as the liaison between Operations, Finance, HRIS and Talent Acquisition regarding contingent worker headcount and position management
  • Own contingent workforce compliance, including maintaining worker classification standards, co-employment guardrails, background check compliance, and documentation requirements in partnership with Legal
  • Maintain HRIS data integrity in Workday, including accuracy of contingent worker records and positions, and partner with HRIS to administer agency access, improve data quality, onboarding business process, and reporting infrastructure
  • Partner with FP&A on contingent worker spend tracking, budget forecasting, and cost-per-hire metrics to give the business clear visibility into contingent labor costs
  • Lead the temp-to-FTE conversion process end-to-end, including the approval workflow, offer coordination, and seamless transition experience for workers and managers
  • Identify and drive process improvements across the CW program, including standardizing practices across locations and departments, completing program documentation, and building toward global consistency once the US is stabilized

Requirements
