Director, HR - HR Business Partner & Transformation

About the Position

We're seeking a Director, HR - HR Business Partner & Transformation to lead HR transformation and build future-ready capabilities in a fast-changing environment.

Responsibilities

• Drive HR transformation execution

  • Create the cadence, visibility, and follow-through needed to move HR transformation work from discussion to decision to action.
  • Maintain an integrated view of HR priorities and initiatives, and help sequence and manage the work so the function can move with focus, balance, and follow-through.
  • Help translate HR’s future-state ambition into sequenced work, capability shifts, workflow changes, and adoption plans that prepare the function to operate in more scalable, digital, and AI-enabled ways.
  • Translate priorities into practical plans with clear milestones, risks, dependencies, adoption needs, and measurable outcomes.
  • Facilitate tradeoff discussions when priorities compete, capacity is constrained, timing decisions are required, or work needs to evolve.
  • Partner with HR leaders to connect transformation work across COEs, Market HR, Employee Experience, HR Operations, and HRBPs so priorities, dependencies, and adoption needs are aligned across the function.
  • Identify friction, duplication, or delay in cross-HR ways of working, surface what is getting in the way, remove barriers, and act quickly to keep transformation moving.

• Build future-ready HR capabilities and ways of working

  • Build a future-ready HR operating model by clarifying expectations, routines, workflows, service handoffs, and ways of working, and by redesigning workflows to reduce duplication, simplify delivery, and improve consistency across the function.
  • Embed the HR capability profile into development, progression, talent discussions, and hiring expectations so HR teams build the skills needed for the next phase of transformation.
  • Cultivate a product mindset by helping HR teams design for users and the enterprise, make deliberate tradeoffs, iterate based on feedback, and measure success through outcomes, not activity.
  • Support AI readiness and digital ways of working by clarifying how tools, skills, roles, handoffs, workflows, and service expectations evolve as technology becomes embedded in HR delivery.
  • Build practical tools, shared resources, knowledge assets, adoption routines, and feedback loops that help HR teams work more consistently and adapt as needs, tools, and expectations evolve.

• Strengthen HR organization effectiveness and talent

  • Align structures, roles, talent, and ways of working to HR’s priorities and future operating model.
  • Support decisions on workforce planning, role clarity, team and leadership effectiveness, and the capabilities HR needs to build over time.
  • Use HR data to identify talent, performance, engagement, and workforce risks or opportunities, and to inform people and team decisions.
  • Support HR talent reviews, succession, development planning, performance differentiation, retention, and movement of top talent across HR.
