About the job
Who We Are:
Brooks is a team of passionate people united by a desire to do meaningful work, lead healthy lives and make a difference. We share a focused mission: to inspire everyone to run and be active. That’s it. No distractions—it’s all about the run. Through science, creativity, service, authenticity and connection, we obsess over delivering the best running gear on the planet. We do it our way, with our unique spirit, with a goal of being more relevant to runners than any other brand, day after day and mile after mile. We are determined to innovate, challenging ourselves to lead thought at every turn. Inside these walls and on the roads, tracks and trails, we live and breathe Run Happy, celebrating the positive impact running has on our lives and others. We inject it into all we do because it makes everything better, smarter, more fun and more memorable. Our company culture defines us, bonds us together and creates the conditions for success. It is lived daily as a behavioral expression of our collective set of brand values: Connect with People, Innovate for our Customer, Compete as a Team, Build Trust, Have Fun & Bring Passion, and Be Active. If you’re on our team, it means you’re part of creating something extraordinary. You’re part of Brooks.
Your Job:
As an HR Programs Manager, and as a key member of the People Programs team, you will connect with people at Brooks on both a micro and macro level by creating and executing company-wide people programs that enable our employees and culture to scale in pursuit of our growth strategies. Focused on Learning & Development (L&D), Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI) and Employee Recognition, you will help lead and manage a global portfolio of programs, establish standards, reporting, metrics, and perform trend analysis. In this role you will lead and facilitate trainings for our in-house L&D and DEI programs, as well as manage the role out and the on-going optimization of a new Employee Recognition tool.
You will collaborate with leaders and employee groups to understand program requirements and business priorities and translate them into initiatives and programs that support the HR and People Programs strategic roadmap, creating a best-in-class internal and external employer brand. Through collaboration and discovery, you will need to grow deep empathy for the Brooks employee experience as you seek to optimize and improve our current offerings to create a consistent, global employee experience.
You will have the opportunity to think big, test new ideas, and teach others. In this role you will be a key leader and contributor to our DEI trainings, our Insights trainings, our Manager Development Training program, our Leader Led Training program, our Learning Management System (LMS), our Compliance training, our Employee Recognition Program, as well as being the welcoming face for our New Hire Day One Orientation program.
Responsibilities:
! Innovate, build, and own programs that have a measurable impact on employee experience and inclusion at Brooks.
! Partner with key stakeholders to build, scale and deploy tool kits that address cultural integration and behavioral change.
! Partner with Sr. Manager of DEI in work that helps to dismantle the barriers Black, Indigenous, and other people of color; women; LGBTQ+ people; and other underrepresented groups currently face in our industry and community.
! Lead, facilitate and build a calendar for a variety of in-house trainings.
! Obtain stakeholder engagement and partner with key leaders to ensure successful execution of HR programs. Identify, develop and leverage key champions throughout the organization.

! Partner with key global HR partners to roll out programs in EMEA and Asia ensuring a consistent, global employee experience.
! Use data to identify trends and quickly resolve defects, while simultaneously measuring success against defined success metrics.
! Make things sticky…. define feedback mechanisms that go beyond a successful “go live”. Design ongoing communication campaigns after initial roll-out to keep programs top of mind for existing employees and build awareness for new hires.
! Manage our current LMS, assess its long-term feasibility, and make a recommendation for the optimal global enterprise solution.
! Track and report out program metrics via the People Programs Dashboard, helping ensure we hit our goals.
! Partner with HR Business Partners to educate and coach leaders on progressive ways to enhance employee experience and inclusion on their teams.
Qualifications:
! 5+ years progressive work experience in human resources or talent management

! Excellent interpersonal and influence skills with experience establishing credibility and working relationships at all levels across the organization.
! Strong program management and facilitation skills along with the ability to support and mentor others in these domains.
! Knowledge of Insights Discovery / MBTI (Meyers Briggs) theory preferred
! Excellent verbal and written communication skills, demonstrating effective listening through concise, clear verbal and written communication.
! Ability to travel domestically and internationally.
! Passionate participation in Brooks’ sports activities a plus, overridden by the ability to understand and empathize with the runner in order to develop loyal, engaging relationships with our customers and the Brooks community.
