Role Overview

We’re seeking a Vice President of Global Employee and Workplace Experience to redefine the way we engage with our employees at scale, elevate our Employee Experience (EX) strategies, and lead with purpose.

• Operational Excellence: Drive a culture of accountability and continuous improvement in employee experience, compliance, and fiscal responsibility. Lead root cause problem-solving and simplification of processes wherever possible, and use data-driven insights to prioritize and optimize EX operations and decision-making.

• Change Leadership: Act as a change agent, inspiring and guiding the organization through periods of transformation. Provide thought leadership on organizational change strategies to navigate evolving business landscapes.
