About the Role

We're hiring a People Project Manager to join our HR PMO and help deliver an ambitious portfolio of HR programs, products, and initiatives as we scale globally. This is not a business-as-usual project management role—we're a hypergrowth company building at speed, and our HR team is evolving alongside it.

You’ll thrive if you:

• Create order from chaos: Turn fast-moving, ambiguous problems into clear plans and outcomes.
• Are relentlessly organized: Stay ahead of details, dependencies, decisions, and follow-ups.
• Love pace: Move quickly, adapt as things change, and keep momentum high.
• Build great workflows: Find simpler, smarter, more scalable ways to get things done.
• Collaborate brilliantly: Bring stakeholders together and create clarity across teams.
• Think and do: Build the plan, then roll up your sleeves to get it over the line.

Responsibilities

• Manage programs and initiatives across our global HR roadmap.
• Build plans, milestones, workstreams, and clear ownership for HR projects.
• Coordinate cross-functional execution across HR, Finance, Legal, IT, and other teams.
• Drive project governance: manage decisions, risks, dependencies, and stakeholder alignment.
• Develop repeatable workflows and tools to help HR execute at scale.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in project or program management within a fast-moving, high-growth organization.
• Ability to independently drive complex, multi-stakeholder projects from start to finish.
• Exceptional attention to detail and strong systems for managing work.
• Excited by creating something new rather than maintaining business as usual.
• Strong stakeholder management: create alignment and accountability without relying on authority.
• Exceptional communication: produce crisp plans, updates, and documentation.
• Collaborative, low-ego, and invested in making the whole team better.

Location

This is a global, remote role, working across our distributed HR organization and with stakeholders worldwide.

Benefits

• A weekly lunch stipend of $75/£75 or equivalent in your local currency.
• Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget for mental health.
• RRSP matching, 401K, or Pension Scheme (depending on location).
• 100% Parental Leave top-up for up to 6 months for either parent.
• Annual enrichment benefits: Arts & culture, fitness/wellness, quality time, and a workspace improvement credit.
• Education & learning stipend for conferences, courses, and coaching.
• 6 weeks of paid vacation (30 working days).
• Budget for traveling to other offices if remote, plus an annual company offsite.

Work Environment

Cohere is remote-friendly, with offices in Toronto, London, New York City, San Francisco, Montreal, Paris, Berlin, and Seoul (with more opening soon).

• For those in the office: daily lunch program, plenty of snacks, and regular community and social events.
• For those not near an office: a co-working benefit to work alongside others in your city.
• Everyone receives a $500 home office stipend to set up your workspace properly.
