Job Description
Policy & Procedure Program Specialist
Position Overview
The Policy & Procedure Program Specialist supports the systems, standards, and execution discipline that translate enterprise priorities into clear, coordinated, and operationally viable field execution through high-quality documentation.
This role is responsible for owning the end-to-end program for operational policies, procedures/SOPs, forms, and playbooks, ensuring guidance is clear, consistent, current, and easy for center teams to execute. The Specialist ensures documentation reduces confusion, supports adoption, and enables scalable, repeatable operations across the organization.
Operating within the Organizational Alignment & Enablement function, this role partners closely with the Director of Organizational Alignment and cross-functional stakeholders to translate business requirements into structured, field-ready documentation. The role ensures documentation is aligned to operational reality, governed through disciplined standards, and maintained as a trusted single source of truth.
This role reports to the Director of Organizational Alignment and operates through strong cross-functional collaboration, attention to detail, and disciplined program execution in a highly matrixed environment.
Key Responsibilities
Documentation Program Ownership & Cross-Functional Alignment
Own the end-to-end documentation program lifecycle, including intake, prioritization, drafting, review routing, approvals, publication, and archival.
Partner with functional leaders to confirm alignment on requirements, ownership, timing, and field impact prior to publishing guidance.
Identify conflicting, duplicative, or misaligned documentation and recommend resolution across teams.
Ensure alignment between operational decisions and documented expectations.
Policy, Procedure/SOP, Forms & Playbook Development
Draft and maintain operational policies, procedures/SOPs, forms, and playbooks in partnership with cross-functional SMEs.

Develop standardized templates, checklists, trackers, and job aids that support execution in center environments.
Ensure documentation supports usability and execution—not just compliance.
Governance, Standards & Version Control
Establish and enforce documentation standards, including structure, naming conventions, formatting, required sections, and plain-language clarity.

Coordinate review cycles and approval processes to ensure documentation is current, consistent, and audit-ready.
Support governance routines that reinforce consistency and accountability across documentation.
Field Usability & Enablement Support
Ensure documentation is designed for real center workflows (simple, practical, aligned to field capacity, minimal duplication).
Validate documentation with field leaders (DOs, ADs, CDs) as needed and incorporate feedback to improve clarity and usability.
Ensure documentation packages are complete and aligned to rollout needs (policy, SOP, forms, playbooks, FAQs, quick references).
Support alignment between documentation, communications, and training to enable effective adoption.
Publishing, Findability & Ongoing Support
Publish finalized materials to designated repositories (intranet, shared drives, LMS) using consistent taxonomy, tagging, and indexing.
Maintain a clear and accessible documentation library to ensure teams can quickly find the correct and current materials.
Respond to documentation questions and route clarifications to appropriate SMEs.
Update documentation as needed based on feedback, changes, or identified gaps.
Continuous Improvement
Track recurring field questions, confusion points, and documentation gaps.
Identify opportunities to simplify processes, reduce administrative burden, and improve usability of tools and forms.
