Key Responsibilities: 

1.     Think Big and Dive Deep - Lead small, medium and large-scale implementations including (but not limited to): Key investments in HR & Learning’s multi-year systems roadmap, modernizing our global workforce experience through technology and driving innovation through your innate ability to sense what is meaningful and simple to our workforce:

• Set a vision for and use your influencing skills to lead HR technology strategy teammates towards a well-orchestrated and supported program plan that ensures effective launch and implementation
• Translate program design into an innovative, technologically forward thinking and operational efficient solution that balances things like quality of workforce experience and operational cost of delivering
• Be accountable for the transformational work occurring within the various cross-functional agile teams delivering on work by driving requirements and scope
• Act as a strategic business partner to leadership by transforming strategic goals and priorities into business solutions and then implementing digital solutions coupled with modern and efficient business processes
• Operate at all levels, stay connected to the details, audit frequently, and are skeptical when metrics and anecdote differ.  No task is beneath you that might live in other HR functions, system development/IT, HR Operations and production support

2.     Invent and Simplify - Innovate and Grow the HR & Learning Product Portfolio: You will have an opportunity to evolve the existing product portfolio and launch new ones. You will leverage your strategic and critical thinking to articulate how the portfolio of solutions you own can evolve into the future.  By leveraging your own knowledge of HR & Learning solutions and your vast network, you are able to articulate progressively evolving roadmaps that ensure an integrated workforce experience.  Sometimes innovation means completely new ways of thinking and sometimes it means simply delightful tweaks to existing solutions.  You operate on either ends of that spectrum and find joy in doing it.

• Elicit and document requirements, perform impact analysis and create process improvement recommendations for complex technology projects that touch multiple domains in HR & Learning
• Collaborate with IT and vendors to plan, implement, and build the right features / enhancements with a focus on solutions that solve for enterprise, end-to-end HR & Learning processes
• Hunt for big ideas that identify and solve important HR problems and move beyond incremental features and instead propose a complete end-to-end automated solution

3.     Earn Trust - Act as strategic business partner to HR leadership: You will skillfully cultivate and grow key internal and external relationships. You will form and engage in productive partnerships with critical internal HR and IT stakeholders – to evangelize the work we do, ensure a common understanding of the experience and scale it effectively across the organization. You will be versatile in the work you do in the context of these internal and external relationships: from ensuring buy-in with a senior internal stakeholder, to negotiating a contract with an outside provider and everything in-between.

4.     Customer Obsession – Start with the customer and work backwards: You will work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust while having a bias for action.  Speed matters and many decisions are reversible and do not need extension study.  We value calculated risk taking.

•  Lead and drive UAT for large technology program delivery
• Propose improvements for internal processes with an eye towards automating the manual (reduce all debt)
• Provide project management support and communications for complex projects as well as anticipate and raise risks and propose mitigation plans
• Use a combination of product instinct, data, and teamwork to ensure we provide well-crafted solution
