We are seeking a strategic, design-minded Global Customer Innovation and User Experience Lead to reimagine how employees and People managers (our customers) interact with HR tools and processes. This role will serve as the employee advocate and UX champion within the People Services Organization—bringing a consumer-grade lens to every process, ensuring tools are intuitive, simple, and reduce the need for ‘help’ documentation or support.

• Simplify the Complex: Translate multi-step People processes into intuitive, user-friendly workflows, eliminate unnecessary clicks, jargon, process-steps and documentation wherever possible.

• Prototype & Test: Develop and test low-fidelity prototypes and mock-ups to validate usability before full-scale deployment.

• Advocate for Embedded Guidance: Promote and help build in-tool guidance (e.g., smart prompts, tooltips, embedded help) to reduce reliance on static "how to" documents.

• Benchmark Against Best-in-Class: Stay on top of consumer experience trends (e.g., e-commerce, mobile UX) and continuously bring innovation and inspiration to People process design.

• Feedback Loop Creation: Establish feedback mechanisms (surveys, in-tool prompts, focus groups) to continuously improve People digital experiences.
