About the role

The Director, AI Technology & Analytics is a strategic leadership position that combines People technology platform management with advanced people analytics to drive digital transformation and data-driven decision-making across the people function.

Acting as the primary bridge between the People team and IT, this role will lead People team business engagement, oversee solution design, delivery and operations, and ensure People team systems enable scalable, compliant, and data-driven people processes.

The Workday Technology Operations and analytics team will report directly into this role.
