Partner with infrastructure, cybersecurity, and application teams to proactively resolve friction points impacting end‑user productivity and meeting compliance standards.

Own the experience measurement framework, using data such as DEX scores, NPS, telemetry, and feedback loops to drive continuous improvement.

Collaborate with Store Operations, Supply Chain, and HR to ensure the technology journey aligns to frontline and back‑office employee expectations.

Drive change management and adoption strategies for new tools and platforms with an emphasis on training, accessibility, and inclusivity.

Identify and implement modern workplace technologies (e.g., virtual assistants, digital signage, mobile‑first tools) that simplify and enhance the employee experience.

Lead pilots and innovation labs to test and validate emerging technologies for relevance in a retail operating environment.

Who You Are

15+ years of progressive IT leadership experience with a strong focus on employee experience, end‑user technology, or workplace services.

Proven success in multi‑site environments including retail stores, distribution centers, and corporate HQs.

Deep understanding of experience management platforms (e.g., Qualtrics, Nexthink, or similar), ITSM / ITIL, and DEX analytics.

Strong track record of building high‑performing teams and driving cultural change across a diverse workforce.

Executive presence with excellent communication, influencing, and storytelling skills.
