About the Job

This role owns the configuration, evolution, and operational excellence of the global People technology ecosystem. It is a senior individual contributor position at the intersection of HR, advanced analytics, automation, and AI. You will define how the People team operates by building scalable systems, integrations, and clean data foundations that power every stage of the employee lifecycle. You will partner closely with the People Leadership Team, People Services, PBPs, and IT to turn manual, fragmented processes into seamless automated workflows. While driving large-scale strategic projects and leading intentional AI transformation, you will also be hands-on and ready to support day-to-day requests to keep the business moving.

Role & Responsibilities

  • ● Lead the day-to-day management, optimization, and continuous configuration of core systems, with heavy focus on HiBob (HRIS) and Greenhouse (ATS), ensuring full system hygiene and deep integration.
  • ● Architect and scale the People team's automation and agent infrastructure.
  • ● Manage the AI budget and pioneer intentional, compliant use of LLMs within HR workflows.
  • ● Develop, clean, and maintain People metrics across the full employee lifecycle.
  • ● Turn complex datasets into clear and compelling self-service dashboards for leadership, committees, and the board.
  • ● Lead custom integrations, system enhancements, and new tool rollouts from requirements gathering and testing through to final adoption.
  • ● Translate ambiguous team needs into technical blueprints, manage the systems backlog, and ruthlessly prioritize for business impact.
  • ● Map pain points alongside People Services and PBPs and proactively eliminate manual, high-effort processes such as onboarding/offboarding, compliance checks, and approval chains.
