Job Description
As Contingent Workforce Program Manager at General Matter, you'll own our contingent workforce program end to end and build the systems that let it scale.

- Build scalable, end-to-end processes for 1099 contractors, LLCs, temp staffing agencies, and subcontracting vendors, including classification guidelines and co-employment safeguards.
- Build and manage General Matter's supplier base, and negotiate rates and terms in partnership with Procurement, Legal, and Finance as you take ownership of SOW and subcontractor engagements.
- Define what access each contractor needs and put controls in place, including export-control compliance and clearance requirements, without slowing the business down.
- Set requirements for construction and site subcontractors, including liability insurance and certificates of insurance, and resolve edge cases.
- Establish program health measures and operational insights that identify systemic issues, inform priorities, and drive measurable improvements in service, efficiency, adoption, supplier performance, and risk.
- Use automation and AI tools to build, scale, and automate intake, tracking, and reporting as request volume grows.
- Partner with People, Legal, Finance, Security, and IT to run a large, cross-functional program, and escalate issues quickly with clear recommendations.

- Experience at a fast-paced tech startup that went through meaningful scale, including building processes to handle a rising volume of contractor requests.
- Hands-on experience managing SOW and subcontractor engagements, including sourcing suppliers and negotiating terms.
- Strong working knowledge of worker classification, co-employment, and contractor compliance.
- Experience using automation and AI tools to scale operational processes.
- A track record of owning large, cross-functional programs end to end, with sound judgment about when and how to escalate
- Experience building a contingent workforce program from the ground up at a fast-growing startup, ideally within hard tech.
- Experience managing construction or site contractor programs, including subcontractor insurance and site onboarding.
- Demonstrated ability to own complex programs end to end across interdisciplinary teams, coordinating competing priorities, driving decisions, and delivering results with no loose ends.
- Scaling an extended workforce program at a high-growth company with both exempt and non-exempt populations.
- Experienced partnering with employer-of-record providers.
- Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
