• Identify process improvements that enhance efficiency, data structure and accessibility.
• Enable tier‑zero employee and manager self‑service for policies, processes, and data through systems and chatbots, reducing reliance on People team members and ticket systems.
• Champion system education to drive employee and manager self‑service adoption and data and systems utilization.
• Drive AI initiatives such as deploying LLMs for job descriptions and ML to forecast attrition, ensuring tools are trained and continuously refined to be fit‑for‑purpose and remain within ethical and legal guardrails.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Passion for driving continuous improvement simplifying workflows, implementing automation, and driving self‑service.
