Yahoo serves as a trusted guide for hundreds of millions of people globally, helping them achieve their goals online through our portfolio of iconic products. For advertisers, Yahoo Advertising offers omnichannel solutions and powerful data to engage with our brands and deliver results. A Little About Us The Yahoo HR Program Management Office (PMO) drives strategic execution at the intersection of business strategy, organizational design, and enterprise technology. We lead mission-critical people programs—from enterprise-level M&A integrations to global Total Rewards and HR digital transformations—ensuring complex initiatives land seamlessly across our global workforce. Our team operates as strategic orchestrators, combining disciplined portfolio governance with modern, AI-augmented working practices to deliver clear outcomes at high velocity. A Little About You We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager. This is not a coordinator role; the right person walks into a room full of senior stakeholders and commands it. They've run M&A programs before and know what it means to manage sensitive, fast-moving work with real consequences and they can hold a portfolio of programs without dropping a thread. They bring an Al-forward working style - not because it's trendy, but because it makes them faster and better. Own a complex program portfolio Lead end-to-end delivery of HR programs across M&A, Total Rewards, and cross-functional HR projects. Maintain a clear, current view of portfolio health - risks, dependencies, milestones, and decisions - and communicate it up and across without being asked. Structure ambiguous work into clear plans. Define scope, sequence, and success criteria before the work starts, not after. Drive governance: own project documentation, decision logs, status updates, and stakeholder communications end to end. Flex into whatever the portfolio needs. You pick up new workstreams quickly, move between strategic and tactical without friction. Lead M&A project delivery Serve as the primary PM for people-side M&A activity: due diligence support, integration planning, Day 1 readiness, and post-close execution. Partner with Legal, Finance, and HR leadership to manage sensitive timelines and information with discretion and precision. Build and maintain the M&A playbook - so the knowledge lives in the system, not just with one person. Operate as an Al-forward practitioner Use Al tools (including Claude and similar) as a core part of how you work - for drafting synthesis, status reporting, meeting prep, and wherever else they add speed or quality. Help the team identify where Al can reduce manual effort in project management workflows and bring those ideas forward proactively. Show up at the executive level Prepare and deliver executive-ready updates, decks, and briefings that are clear and tailored to the audience. Represent the PMO in senior forums. Facilitate decision-making at the leadership level when needed. Build trusted relationships with HR leaders, business partners, and cross-functional stakeholders quickly and maintain them over time. Drive change management and adoption Design and execute change management approaches for programs that affect how employees or HR teams work. Anticipate resistance, plan for it, and adjust. Partner with HRBPs and comms to land changes well across the organization. Basic Qualifications 8+ years of progressive program management experience leading large-scale, cross-functional HR initiatives or enterprise organizational transformations within a fast-paced technology or global matrixed environment. Proven track record leading people-side M&A activities end-to-end, including due diligence, Day 1 readiness, talent retention, and system/cultural integration. Demonstrated executive presence with significant experience advising VP+ leaders, resolving strategic cross-functional friction, and driving executive governance meetings. Deep practical experience with project and portfolio management methodologies (waterfall, agile, hybrid) and enterprise collaboration toolsets (Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, or similar). Demonstrated experience embedding AI tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT) directly into daily professional workflows for rapid data synthesis, structured analysis, and artifact generation. Strong critical judgment in validating AI-generated deliverables, maintaining data confidentiality and compliance standards, and knowing when to apply automation versus manual intervention. Preferred Qualifications Experience operating within an established HR PMO or enterprise strategy office during major corporate restructuring, divestitures, or international acquisitions. Formal certifications in Program Management (PMP, PgMP) or Change Management (Prosci) or equivalent practical methodology mastery. Experience designing or refining automated PMO reporting workflows utilizing generative AI, workflow orchestrators, or enterprise intelligence tools. #LI-KS2 The material job duties and responsibilities of this role include those listed above as well as adhering to Yahoo policies; exercising sound judgment; working effectively, safely and inclusively with others; exhibiting trustworthiness and meeting expectations; and safeguarding business operations and brand integrity.
