The Head of Employee Experience leads the team responsible for how employees interact with HR — from the tools they use to the processes they navigate to the guidance they receive. This role brings together two distinct but complementary functions: Org Effectiveness Consulting, which enables the organization on new tools, processes, and complex people problems, and HR Operations, which drives automation, transformation, and compliance across HR delivery. The unifying principle behind this team is employee self-service as a starting point, not an afterthought. Every tool, process, program, and solution the team builds or supports should be designed so employees can find answers, take action, and solve problems on their own first — with expert consulting and operational excellence backing that experience up.

This is a hands-on leadership and change management role. The Head of Employee Experience will be the driving force that aligns these two teams around a shared vision of employee experience, ensuring that innovation in one function (e.g., automation in HR Ops) translates into real enablement and adoption in the other (e.g., Org Effectiveness rollout and support). The Head of Employee Experience champions a culture of continuous learning, innovation, feedback, and operational excellence while leveraging technology, automation, AI, and analytics to improve organizational health, employee engagement, productivity, and retention.
