About the role
The Director, People Operations & Total Rewards owns the foundation of our People organization: pay, benefits, payroll and HR technology. The role inherits a newly implemented Rippling platform and compensation practices that grew separately in each business, and turns them into one system that is precise, trusted and ready to scale.

This is a technology-first role. We want a leader who looks at every manual step and asks how to automate it. You put Rippling, integrations and AI to work so payroll, benefits and HR operations run with less effort, fewer errors and no added headcount. This role will report to the SVP of Human Resources, sit on the HR leadership team, and work closely with Finance, Legal and leaders across every company.

• Lead the HR Technology Manager and HR Help Desk.
• Standardize onboarding, job changes, offboarding, and records across every company.
• Keep policies, the employee handbook and required notices current.
• Deliver people analytics that leaders trust: headcount, labor cost, turnover and pay equity.

Automation & AI

• Find the manual steps in HR and payroll and automate them.
• Bring AI into Help Desk answers, document generation and audit checks, with controls for privacy and accuracy.
• Build the HR automation roadmap with IT and Finance.
• Run report for hours saved, errors removed, and cycle times cut.
