Program Manager III - Workforce Architecture

Be a core contributor to a modern Jobs & Skills architecture—enabling workforce agility by helping the firm match people to work at speed and with confidence. In this utility-player role, you’ll support consistent, well-documented job architecture and skills intelligence decisions that scale across the enterprise. You’ll help drive job code and job description updates, strengthen controls and auditability, and contribute to the systems, frameworks, and insights that keep job and skills data accurate, trusted, and usable. Working across HR and the business, you’ll help manage downstream impacts to platforms, reporting, and processes so changes are implemented cleanly, consistently, and sustainably. 

As a Vice President on the Jobs & Skills team within Workforce Architecture (Workforce Development Function), you will help execute JPMorganChase’s integrated approach to job architecture and skills intelligence. You will contribute to roadmap planning and delivery sequencing, help activate priority Jobs-to-be-Done use cases, and support stakeholder alignment, change management, communications, and adoption. Partnering closely with Workforce Design, HR Segment Leads and executives, cross-functional HR and business partners, and the Employee Experience Quad (Product, Technology, Data & UX), you’ll ensure Jobs & Skills capabilities remain tightly aligned to enterprise needs and continuously evolve to support the firm’s future-of-work strategy.

Job Responsibilities

• • Job Architecture and Skills Evolution: Continuously evolve job architecture to reflect changing business needs, emerging roles, and future of work requirements; leverage emerging and here & now technologies to help job frameworks evolve at speed and remain responsive to market shifts.
