CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity.

We currently have an exciting career opportunity for an Onboarding, Senior Manager to join the team in our People and Culture Learning and Development department. This role can sit in any of our CohnReznick Offices.

CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices.

However, as a remote employee, you may be required to be present at a CohnReznick office with scheduled notice for client work, team meetings, or trainings.

YOUR TEAM.

CohnReznick is deeply invested in the personal and professional development of our team members, with the Learning and Development (L&D) department playing a pivotal role in this commitment.

The Senior Manager will also drive the development and execution of a consistent, scalable onboarding experience across U.S. and global offices, collaborating closely with stakeholders in People and Culture, Global Digital & Cybersecurity (IT), and business leadership. This role will be instrumental in the enhancement of existing processes for campus hires.
