Company Introduction

WorldStrides is the global leader in educational travel and experiential learning. The company was founded in 1967 to provide middle school travel programs to Washington, D.C. and has grown to provide a wide range of programs for more than half a million students annually to over 100 countries around the world. WorldStrides offers experiential learning programs in educational travel, performing arts, language immersion, career exploration, service-learning, study abroad, and sports. Each of these experiences helps students to see beyond the classroom and to see the world – and themselves – in new ways.

Job Description: The Manager, HR Operations, runs the engine behind HR Delivery at WorldStrides. Reporting to the Senior Director of HR Delivery, this leader owns HR operations and HR shared services end to end and leads the HR Generalists and the operations team, alongside the HRBP and L&D teams that complete HR Delivery.

  • Lead employee relations for full-time and seasonal team members: investigate concerns, guide managers, and resolve issues consistently and in line with policy.
  • Run the annual HR calendar: lead the engagement survey, performance review cycles, merit and bonus processes, promotion cycles, compensation processes, and policy rollouts, each with a clear plan, owners, and status reporting.
  • Drive compliance through execution: partner with Sr Dir of Governance and team on HR governance and compliance, and run HR practices that keep WorldStrides compliant with federal, state, and global labor law.
  • Partner across the business: work with Finance on payroll accuracy and headcount reporting, and with HRBPs and hiring managers to keep the team member lifecycle fast from offer through exit.
  • Maintain clean HR data that informs decisions at the HR leadership and business leadership levels.
  • Partner with L&D on HR inbox analytics: spot recurring questions and gaps, then build proactive training that closes them.
  • Automate manual HR operations: eliminate error-prone steps through better process, tooling, and AI agents the team builds and maintains.
  • Lead with AI: leverage existing and new AI tools to improve how the team operates and elevate the team member experience.

Success in the first year:

  • You have identified problem areas and redesigned workflows to deliver programs and processes faster and smoother with the support of AI or other platforms.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
