  • Set the roadmap for HR systems, evaluate and select new tools, and manage vendor relationships and contracts
  • Partner with IT/Security on access controls, integrations, and data governance
  • Develop and own the strategy for how AI agents supplement HR work - identifying which tasks are appropriate to delegate to agents versus which require human judgment
  • Interpret and apply company policy consistently; manage sensitive employee relations matters with sound judgment and appropriate confidentiality
  • Build change management plans to help the broader team adopt AI-supported workflows with confidence rather than anxiety
