This work will establish a centralized, AI-ready knowledge ecosystem. Building on that foundation, you will design the systems, processes, and governance needed to translate consolidated knowledge into consistent, compliant, and high-quality employee support experiences. You will also shape how knowledge, tooling, and workflows integrate to enable a more modern and efficient People Ops function, ensuring employees receive the right information, at the right time, through the right channels. What You'll Do: Build and own a centralized People knowledge ecosystem, including taxonomy, governance, and lifecycle management Establish AI-ready knowledge structures that enable automation, support accurate and compliant AI-assisted experiences, and define the future-state integration between knowledge, case management, and AI support systems.

Establish clear governance, guardrails, and risk mitigation frameworks for the use of AI within a regulated HR environment to manage both operational and regulatory risk. Establish measurement frameworks and use insights to continuously improve knowledge quality and support outcomes Lead cross-functional programs from planning through execution, driving alignment, delivery, and scalable implementation of systems and workflows Ensure readiness for new programs, policies, and regulatory changes through scalable enablement What We Look For: Experience building or transforming knowledge management systems, service models, or shared services functions (0→1 or significant scale-up) Strong understanding of end-user experience in any domain required, with specific experience in People Operations, employee experience, or HR service delivery a plus Proven experience in AI-native workflows; specifically using AI to write scripts, structure complex data, and automate manual operations. You should be comfortable using agentic AI tools to bridge the gap between conceptual design and technical implementation.
