Disney’s ILS Program evaluates and helps improve working conditions in facilities producing Disney-branded products.

This role requires excellent written and verbal communication skills, training and facilitation skills, and the ability to drive collaborative solutions with internal business units and external licensees/vendors to improve facilities’ compliance performance with Disney’s ILS Program requirements.
