Who You Are

At QTS, our Military Talent Program Manager is a strategic relationship builder, program leader, and internal champion for military-connected talent. You thrive on creating programs that deliver measurable business value and, just as importantly, getting leaders excited about using them.

You are comfortable operating at the intersection of Talent Acquisition, program management, business development, and internal consulting. You know how to build credibility with leaders, understand their workforce needs, and translate military experience into talent solutions that help them solve real hiring challenges.

This role requires someone who can move beyond simply managing a program. You will actively sell the value of military talent internally, build relationships with hiring leaders, create demand for the program, and partner with Talent Acquisition to convert that demand into hiring opportunities for SkillBridge participants, veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses, including SpouseWork talent.

The Impact You Will Have

As the Military Talent Program Manager, you will lead QTS's military talent hiring program and help expand military-connected talent as a strategic pipeline for the organization.

You will serve as the primary internal advocate and subject matter expert for the program, partnering closely with Talent Acquisition and business leaders to identify opportunities where military talent can address workforce needs.

A significant part of your role will be internal business development. You will proactively engage leaders across QTS, understand their talent needs, present military hiring solutions, overcome barriers or misconceptions, and create excitement around engaging with our team to hire SkillBridge and military-spouse talent.

What You Will Do

Develop and implement QTS's military talent hiring program, including SkillBridge, veteran, transitioning service member, and military-spouse talent initiatives.

Serve as the champion for military hiring, proactively engaging business leaders and hiring managers to demonstrate how military-connected talent can help solve their workforce needs.

Partner with hiring leaders to understand current and future workforce needs and identify roles, teams, and skill sets that align well with military-connected talent.

Create a strong internal pipeline of hiring-manager engagement by promoting the program, conducting targeted outreach, and generating opportunities for Talent Acquisition to introduce qualified military candidates.

Consult with leaders who are unfamiliar with SkillBridge or military talent, helping them understand transferable skills, program value, and potential talent solutions.

Partner closely with recruiters and Talent Acquisition leaders to translate business demand into actionable military talent pipelines and hiring strategies.

Develop and manage relationships with military talent organizations, transition programs, military installations, community partners, and other external organizations that can strengthen QTS's military talent pipeline.

Develop and maintain program goals, timelines, resources, and key performance indicators.

Track program performance, including leader engagement, hiring opportunities created, pipeline activity, candidate conversion, and hiring outcomes, and regularly present results and recommendations to leadership.

Partner on military-focused employer-branding and talent-marketing initiatives that strengthen awareness of QTS as an employer for veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses.

Continuously evaluate the program and recommend new partnerships, campaigns, processes, and opportunities that increase its reach and business impact.

What You Will Need to Be Successful

A bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience in Human Resources, Business Administration, Sales, Program Management, Military/Veteran Programs, or a related field.

Three or more years of experience in program management, talent acquisition, recruiting, business development, sales, military talent programs, or a similar role.

The Skills to Get You There

Ability to understand business challenges, identify talent solutions, articulate value, and influence leaders to take action.

Demonstrated ability to take a program, service, or solution and build internal adoption and engagement around it.

Military recruiting, veteran hiring, SkillBridge, military-transition, or military-spouse employment experience is strongly preferred.

Experience working with transitioning service members, veterans, military spouses, or military/community partnerships is preferred.

Strong presentation and storytelling skills with the ability to translate military hiring programs into clear business value.

Ability to build, execute, measure, and continuously improve a strategic talent program.

Comfortable proactively identifying opportunities, building relationships, generating internal demand, and driving adoption.

Understanding of recruiting processes, candidate pipelines, workforce planning, and hiring-manager engagement.

Understanding of military skills, transitioning service members, SkillBridge, veterans, and military-spouse talent populations.

Ability to effectively partner with Talent Acquisition, People Services, business leaders, hiring managers, and external organizations.
