Job description

Our client, a global leader in digital learning and assessments is seeking an accomplished Technology Business Partner – Human Resources to serve as the strategic bridge between Human Resources, enterprise technology and the broader business.

This is not a traditional HR systems leadership role focused on receiving requirements and delivering technology solutions. This leader will become a trusted technology adviser to the CHRO and senior HR leadership, helping shape how technology, data, AI and emerging capabilities can advance the organization's people strategy.

Reporting into senior Technology leadership, this individual will own the strategic technology partnership with HR while leading the platforms and resources supporting the function.

Success requires a rare combination of technology depth, business acumen, executive presence, execution discipline and emotional intelligence.

The Mandate

The Technology Business Partner – HR will help define the future of HR technology, not simply manage its current state. This leader will translate people and business priorities into a cohesive technology strategy and roadmap while providing independent advice on platforms, investments, vendors and emerging technologies. The individual must bring a point of view.

When presented with a new technology or transformational opportunity, this leader should be able to answer: Does it solve a meaningful business problem? Is the technology credible? Is it right for us? Can we execute it successfully—and how will we measure the impact?

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary strategic technology adviser to senior HR leadership, developing trusted relationships across HR, Technology and the enterprise.
• Participate early in strategic conversations, helping shape both the business problem and the appropriate technology response.
• Provide an objective perspective on major technology decisions, investments and vendor recommendations while constructively challenging assumptions when necessary.
• Translate complex technology issues into clear business choices and help reconcile competing priorities across HR and Technology.
• HR Technology Leadership
• Provide strategic leadership for the HR technology ecosystem, including the core Oracle environment and associated platforms, applications and integrations.
• Lead a team of internal and external technology resources and scale delivery capabilities around major initiatives.
• Move the function beyond traditional platform management toward a more product-oriented, business-outcome-driven approach.
• Ensure HR technology remains stable, scalable and cost-conscious while continuously evolving to support the organization's people strategy.

AI, Innovation & Future of Work

• Identify practical applications for AI, agentic technologies, automation, workforce intelligence and emerging technology within HR.
• Partner with enterprise technology teams to evaluate new capabilities and determine where innovation can meaningfully improve HR operations and employee experiences.
• Explore how capabilities involving skills, workforce intelligence and the changing nature of work can strengthen the organization's own internal people strategy.
• Execution & Accountability
• Turn strategy into measurable action.
• Create clear roadmaps, establish priorities and ensure commitments are delivered.
• Build credibility through a simple principle:
• What you say is what you do—and what you do is what you measure.
• The successful leader must be equally comfortable advising executives and ensuring that strategy ultimately translates into results.
• What We're Looking For
• We are seeking a Senior Director/VP-caliber technology leader who has successfully operated at the intersection of technology, business strategy and Human Resources.

The strongest candidates will bring:

• Significant leadership experience across HR Technology, Enterprise Applications, Digital Transformation or Technology Business Partnership.
• Strong knowledge of modern HR technology ecosystems; Oracle experience is highly valuable.
• Demonstrated experience advising CHROs, C-suite executives and senior functional leaders.
• Sufficient technical depth to engage credibly with engineers, architects, vendors and technology executives.
• A track record of taking initiatives from strategy through execution with measurable business impact.
• Strong understanding of AI, automation, data and emerging workforce technologies.
• Exceptional executive communication, influence and relationship-building skills.
• The confidence to constructively challenge senior leaders while navigating complex organizational dynamics.
• High emotional intelligence, business judgment and the ability to influence without relying on hierarchy.

Sucessful Profile

• Technical expertise alone will not make someone successful here.
• The right person will earn trust rather than rely on title. They will have the executive presence to operate comfortably with senior leadership and enough technology depth to maintain credibility with technical teams.
• They will understand how to read the room, challenge thoughtfully, manage competing interests and make difficult tradeoffs.
• Most importantly, they will combine strategy with execution.
• We are not looking for someone who simply talks about transformation. We are looking for someone who has delivered it.
