We’re looking for a Head of People Operations to lead our team and build the systems behind a great employee experience. You’ll shape the strategy across People Operations and Total Rewards operations, making everyday work simpler, more reliable, and increasingly agent-enabled.

- Lead Total Rewards operations by developing and evolving scalable operating frameworks, including clear ownership, decision rights, controls, and cross-functional handoffs, to improve consistency and enable specialists to focus on strategic work.
- Own routine compensation and benefits operations and the processes behind them, from cycle readiness and data changes to Payroll handoffs.
- Partner with specialists on policy, program design, and complex exceptions.
- Measure and strengthen operations by using service, quality, and adoption data to improve performance and service delivery while maintaining data integrity, controls, and audit readiness.
- Make change stick by partnering across People, Finance, Payroll, Legal, IT, and BizTech to resolve handoffs, align decisions, and drive adoption.
Requirements
- Experience leading a high-performing People Operations team in a shared services capacity, building scalable processes in a growing organization, while remaining effective hands-on.
- Demonstrated success building scalable People programs, infrastructure, and operational processes from the ground up.
- Operational depth in compensation administration and benefits, with sound judgment around accuracy, approvals, and exceptions.
- Clear communication, strong judgment, and the ability to lead a team and cross-functional partners through change.
- Intellectual curiosity, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in work.
Skills
- Strong systems and process-design skills across HRIS, case management, and lifecycle workflows.
- Workday and global operations experience are a plus.
- Practical experience using AI and automation to improve work, with privacy, quality, and human oversight built into the approach.
