Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.
Role Summary
We are seeking a Director, People Operational Excellence & AI to evolve and scale how work gets done across the People organization. This role sits at the intersection of HR operations, process design, digital enablement, and AI, with a clear mandate: simplify, standardize, and modernize People processes so our teams can move faster, with more clarity and impact. You will lead a small, high-impact team focused on mapping work, redesigning end-to-end People journeys, and embedding AI-enabled capabilities into the way we deliver services to candidates, employees, managers, and leaders. As a critical connector between People and IT, you will translate People needs into platform requirements and help shape how Workday, ServiceNow, iCIMS and emerging AI solutions work together to support a scalable, data-driven People ecosystem. Why This Role Matters

People Transformation & Operating Effectiveness
Lead initiatives that re-balance and realign work across the People organization, identifying what should be standardized, centralized, or redesigned to improve scale, clarity, and experience.
Partner with COEs, People Partners, and Shared Services to determine where work should live over time and guide transitions, ensuring continuity, quality, and readiness.
Support the evolution of the People operating model, focusing on how work actually gets done-not just how the org chart is drawn.
Continuous Improvement, Standardization & Process Design
Own end-to-end process redesign for priority People journeys (e.g., onboarding, job changes, performance, rewards) especially where work crosses teams, systems, or regions.
Establish common standards for process design, documentation, and handoffs to reduce variability and enable smoother execution.
Ensure processes are clearly documented and accessible, supporting training, adoption, and ongoing improvement.
Identify friction points, inefficiencies, and avoidable demand, and lead simplification efforts with measurable impact on experience and throughput.
AI, Automation & Digital Enablement
Identify high-value opportunities to apply AI, workflow automation, and knowledge management to People processes to improve experience, quality, and capacity.
Translate transformation goals into clear requirements and priorities for People platforms (Workday, ServiceNow, iCIMS) and AI initiatives.
Partner closely with IT, People Systems, and Data teams to ensure solutions are designed around real People workflows, with strong measurement and feedback loops.
Change, Adoption & Leadership
Lead change management, communication, and adoption strategies for work transitions, process redesign, and new digital capabilities.
Build strong partnerships with COEs, People Partners, Shared Services, and IT to align priorities, sequencing, and messaging.
Coach and influence leaders and teams through periods of transition, helping them navigate trade-offs, clarify roles, and embed new ways of working.
Qualifications Required Qualifications
10+ years of experience in People Operations, HR transformation, operational excellence, or related fields within complex, scaling organizations.
Demonstrated experience leading process redesign, work transitions, shared-services enablement, or HR operating model changes.
Strong working knowledge of People technology ecosystems, including Workday and ServiceNow, and familiarity with ATS platforms (e.g., iCIMS) and how workflows, data, and integrations support People processes.
