- Leading and developing regional People and Payroll teams across multiple geographies
- Building a technology-, automation-, and AI-first People operating model, continuously eliminating, simplifying, systemizing, and automating work before adding headcount
- Designing and deploying agentic AI across People workflows (employee support, People insights, manager support, compliance, mobility)
- Owning the People technology ecosystem (HRIS, integrations, workflows, data architecture, AI-enabled tools)
- Owning global Total Rewards operations (compensation cycles, benchmarking, benefits, equity administration, vendor management)
- Owning global payroll operations across multiple countries
- Overseeing global employment compliance and mobility (regional compliance, immigration, EORs, entity requirements)
- Supporting managers on performance, employee relations, and organizational change
- Using People data and AI-enabled insights to identify organizational trends, risks, and opportunities
- Supporting organizational design and workforce planning
- Remaining hands-on and execution-oriented across team leadership, systems design, process improvement, and operational problem-solving
You will partner closely with the Chief People Officer, People Operations and Payroll teams, Talent Acquisition, Learning & Development, Employee Experience, People Managers, Finance, Legal, IT, and external partners including EORs, payroll providers, benefits providers, employment counsel, and mobility partners.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 10+ years of progressive HR/People experience with meaningful leadership across both People Operations and Total Rewards

- Strong systems and data mindset, with ability to connect HRIS, automation, People analytics, and AI into an effective operating model
- Commercial and analytical mindset, connecting People decisions to business priorities
- Player-coach mentality—senior enough to challenge and partner with leaders, but hands-on enough to build and solve problems directly
- Experience in a fast-growing, global, remote-first environment
- Fluent in English and French; another European language is a plus
