About the role

Roku is seeking a Senior Program Manager to lead a complex, multi‑phase Workday ATS (Applicant Tracking System) transformation spanning Workforce Planning, Recruiting, and Onboarding. This is a highly visible role operating at the intersection of People, Talent Acquisition (TA), Enterprise Applications, and executive leadership.

This program involves significant change management, cross‑functional alignment, and integration across multiple systems and teams. The ideal candidate brings strong executive presence, high emotional intelligence (EQ), and the ability to navigate resistance while driving clarity, alignment, and delivery. This role partners closely with People, TA, Engineering, Finance, and an external implementation partner to deliver a scalable, end‑to‑end hiring platform.

Following a successful launch, this role is expected to scale to additional programs across the People and Pay domain and, potentially, to other enterprise initiatives.

What you'll be doing

Own end‑to‑end program leadership for a multi‑phase Workday ATS transformation, from planning through stabilization and optimization
Drive alignment across Workforce Planning, Recruiting, and Onboarding to deliver a cohesive end‑state experience
Partner closely with People and TA leadership to navigate change, surface concerns, and build trust and momentum
Lead cross‑functional teams across HR, TA, Enterprise Applications, Engineering, Finance, and external implementation partners
Establish and manage program governance, including milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, and executive reporting
Proactively identify risks and obstacles; drive decisions and resolution through structured problem‑solving and influence
Translate complex functional and technical concepts into clear, executive‑ready communications
Ensure integration readiness across upstream and downstream systems and processes
Drive disciplined change management, adoption planning, and readiness across impacted teams
Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, bringing clarity, options, and recommendations

We're excited if you have

10+ years of experience leading large‑scale, cross‑functional programs, ideally in HR, People Systems, or Enterprise Applications
Hands‑on experience with Workday Recruiting / ATS transformations or similarly complex HR technology programs
Working knowledge of end‑to‑end hiring processes, including workforce planning, recruiting, and onboarding
Strong understanding of how functional processes connect to technical architectures and integrations
Demonstrated success leading programs in environments with change resistance or competing priorities
Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to influence at the executive level
High emotional intelligence and strong stakeholder management skills
Proven ability to manage external implementation partners and internal delivery teams
Experience establishing governance, metrics, and executive‑level reporting for complex programs
Comfortable operating with ambiguity and driving structure where none exists
