Senior Director, Product - Organizational Effectiveness

Our Corporate Functions are made up of teams that support Expedia Group, including our Global Finance Org., Traveler and Partner Service Platform, Legal Team, Strategy and Corporate Development Team, and People & Places Org.

The Senior Director, Product - Organizational Effectiveness is a senior individual contributor product leader who owns the enterprise strategy and vision for how Expedia Group designs, structures, and scales its organizations. This role is the architect of the AI-native frameworks, products, and mechanisms that enable EG leaders to make high-quality org design decisions, build effective teams, and ensure the right talent architecture is in place to deliver for travelers — at scale and with rigor.

This is not a traditional OD consulting role. While deep organizational effectiveness expertise is valuable, this leader will principally adopt a product-driven approach: defining our short and long-term roadmap, translating complex org design problems into scalable solutions, and building mechanisms that make great org decisions repeatable and data-driven rather than ad hoc and consultant-dependent.

Ultimately, this role will own the talent architecture infrastructure that underpins EG’s entire people system — including leveling frameworks, role profiles, org design playbooks, and the governance mechanisms that keep them current — ensuring EG always has the structural clarity needed to attract, develop, and retain world-class talent. 

The decisions leaders make about how to structure their organizations — who reports to whom, how work is divided, what roles exist and at what level — are among the highest-leverage talent decisions a company makes. Yet most organizations treat these as one-time consulting engagements rather than ongoing product capabilities. At Expedia Group, we’re building something different: a scalable, data-driven org effectiveness system that gives leaders the tools, frameworks, and insights to make better structural decisions faster. This is a rare opportunity to define what world-class org design looks like as a product discipline — and to build it from the ground up at a global travel company shaping the future of how people explore the world.

In this role, you will: Talent Architecture • Own EG’s enterprise talent architecture: the leveling framework, role profiles, job families, and the governance mechanisms that keep them accurate, current, and aligned with business strategy. • Define and maintain the governance model for role profiles — establishing decision rights, version control, and proactive audit mechanisms so that profiles reflect current business needs rather than sitting static on a shelf. • Own leveling framework governance: ensure EG’s leveling guidelines are consistently applied across the enterprise, resolve ambiguous leveling decisions with principled frameworks, and evolve the architecture as the business and external market change. • Partner with Compensation to ensure talent architecture decisions are grounded in market data and aligned with total rewards strategy, while maintaining clear boundaries on decision rights between teams.

Org Design Products & Playbooks • Architect and own EG’s enterprise org design product: the tools, data models, and playbooks that enable HR and business leaders to design organizations with clarity — modeling spans of control, evaluating structural trade-offs, and making reorg decisions against explicit business objectives. • Build and maintain the Org Review Mechanism: a consistent, cadenced approach to evaluating organizational health across EG that surfaces structural risks, capability gaps, and design inefficiencies before they become business problems. • Develop and govern the org design playbook — scalable guidance for leaders navigating structural decisions, including spans and layers, governance design, and role clarity — so that expertise is embedded in a product, not locked in a consultant.

AI-Native Product Development • Drive AI-native product development by design, not as an additional feature — integrating intelligent org modeling, automated role profile governance, and predictive structural insights into EG’s org effectiveness platform in close partnership with People Tech and People Analytics. • Evaluate and prioritize AI opportunities through a rigorous product lens: where does AI reduce friction and raise decision quality, and where does it introduce risk? Bring evidence-based conviction, not hype.

Cross-Functional Partnership & Delivery • Lead a diverse cross-functional coalition of interdependent collaborators (e.g., engineering, Compensation, Finance, TA, and HRBP partners) — co-creating the roadmap, prioritizing the backlog, and holding a high bar for delivery quality and speed. • Navigate a complex stakeholder landscape (CHRO, HRBP Leaders, Finance, Compensation, TA) with clarity, candor, and influence — reaching consensus on hard architectural trade-offs without sacrificing the long-term product vision. • Ensure enterprise adoption of org effectiveness products and frameworks: partner with Talent Strategy Partners and HRBPs to drive readiness, capability building, and consistent applica
