The Enterprise Technology Team

The Enterprise Technology team builds and delivers the secure, scalable systems that power how our business runs. Our People Technology Team sits at the heart of this work, overseeing the full Hire-to-Retire technical ecosystem—including core applications like Workday, Greenhouse, and Cornerstone—and ensuring these platforms evolve alongside the company's growth. We partner closely with HR, Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, and Business Operations to bring data-driven, compliant, and innovative solutions to life.

Partner with the delivery team to evaluate technical trade-offs, balancing user experience, operational risk, and long-term scalability.
AI & Talent Automation Strategy: Define the strategy and functional requirements for integrating AI across the talent lifecycle (sourcing, onboarding, learning, internal mobility)—evaluating build vs. buy solutions, designing human-in-the-loop workflows, and ensuring enterprise-grade privacy and ethical AI standards.
Global Stakeholder Management: Drive cross-functional alignment across Digital Solutions, distributed executive stakeholders, business functional leads, and US-based product counterparts to ensure clear visi
