ABOUT YOU
- You drive the strategy around the design of the platforms in harmony to produce an excellent workforce and partner experience. Purposeful integration and simplicity in creating delightful People experiences are a hallmark of your record of accomplishment.
- You use years of experience in design thinking, People technologies, product management, data analytics and people leadership to drive change that propels an organization forward.
- You have extensive prior experience managing and supporting multiple Talent Management technology products and orchestrating their cohesion (includes but is not limited to: Workday, Star360, Qualtrics, Talent Marketplace, Performance, Talent Planning, etc.). This role is in support of our Talent Management team, sitting within a centralized People Systems team.
- You are driven by curiosity about new technologies and tools to enable workforce and partner experiences. Following, collaborating, and synthesizing the innovation landscape is part of your DNA.
- You are a collaboration expert and successfully can woo a crowd of matrixed stakeholders. You feel deep satisfaction from consensus-building and strive to educate and empower diverse thought partners in your everyday interactions.
- You have exceptional presentation and communication skills and thrive at delivering clear and concise messages that resonate with all audiences.
- Your way of doing people research is by talking to them (often) and capturing the essence of those connection points.
- You do not need all the answers. You are resourceful, relentless, and resilient and leverage your skills in asking the right questions to drive disparate resources towards the right answers. You will be working in a startup-like environment within a matrixed organization, this type of work should energize you.
- You live for figuring out how a new platform works – often stress testing its features and advocating for potential new features you think would add additional value. Leveraging your detail orientation enables you to oversee plans to shape the delivery of a work product and drive large project teams across the finish line.
- You have been successful at making work and life balance in harmony while meeting the always-on nature of a global corporation. Working well under the pressures of a fast-paced organization that is seeking to maintain market dominance for the next 20 years is your speed.
- You have a global mindset – you take genuine interest in other cultures, do not suffer from “HQ syndrome”, and embrace the need to operate with cultural norms and in time zones other than your own.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Think Big and Dive Deep – Lead small, medium, and large-scale implementations including (but not limited to): Key investments in our Talent systems roadmap and driving innovation through your innate ability to sense what is meaningful to our end-user:
- Set a vision for and use your influencing skills to lead People technology 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 user experience and operational cost of delivering
- 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 end-user 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
2. Invent and Simplify – Innovate and Nurture the Talent Management 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 People solutions and your vast network, you can 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 on the People team
- 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 People processes
- Hunt for big ideas that identify and solve important end-user needs, and move beyond incremental features and instead propose a complete end-to-end automated solution
3. Earn Trust – Act as strategic business partner to various business stakeholders: You will skillfully cultivate and grow key internal and external relationships. You will form and engage in productive partnerships with critical internal People 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 solutions.
