This position plays a critical role in establishing enterprise-wide standards for workforce and org effectiveness metrics and monitoring organizational health.

Operating in a decentralized, multi-business unit organization, you will partner with P&O (people & operations or HR), finance, and business leaders at the enterprise and business-unit level.

• Minimum of 6 years of experience with Workday as well as workforce planning and org effectiveness tools (e.g., Orgvue, Visier, Workday Adaptive, Anaplan). This includes functional proficiency and strategic command of these tools, with an emphasis on how organizational data is represented and modeled


• Deep functional expertise in organization effectiveness and strategic workforce planning frameworks, metrics, and benchmarks - including leading practices, operational complexities, and risks


• Proven experience establishing enterprise-level workforce and OE metrics for large organizations, including advising on P&O (HR) and finance metrics integration


• Advanced Microsoft Excel and data visualization tool (Power BI, Tableau) capabilities for ad-hoc modeling, data blending, and scenario exploration


• Proven expertise in translating abstract business questions into structured workforce planning and org effectiveness analytical plans, with a proven track record of delivering high-impact insights that influence executive decisions


• Demonstrated ability to serve as a translator between senior P&O (HR), finance, and commercial leaders, aligning disparate stakeholder groups around a shared understanding of the strategic implications of workforce data


• Exposure to how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing SWP and OE, including: familiarity with emerging AI-driven metrics and enhanced workforce intelligence, including skills-based organization design, and measuring AI-human productivity


• Working knowledge of data querying concepts (e.g., SQL) and data architecture paradigms (e.g., data lakes) to facilitate effective partnership with P&O (HR) technical teams
