- Evaluate enterprise AI capabilities and decide how to reuse, adapt, or extend them for HR needs, reducing duplication and speeding up delivery.
- Drive rapid experimentation that moves priority opportunities from concept to prototype and MVP, using evidence and user feedback to guide investment and scale decisions.
- Own the product backlog and partner with agile delivery teams to plan, sequence, and release platform capabilities.
- Act as a strategic advisor to HR leaders, identifying complex, high-value business problems and turning them into clear product outcomes, use cases, requirements, and measurable success criteria.
- Collaborate with engineering, architecture, data science, data management, and enterprise platform teams to design interoperable capabilities and integration patterns, including MCP and related emerging standards.
- Own prioritization, sequencing, dependencies, and tradeoff decisions across a portfolio of foundational AI capabilities and HR use cases.
- Work within established product governance and operating routines, balancing speed and innovation with responsible AI, privacy, security, model risk, legal, compliance, and control requirements.
- Drive adoption of shared capabilities across HR product teams through enablement, onboarding, and clear consumption patterns.
- Define and monitor adoption, performance, reuse, business value, and risk metrics, and use the insights to improve the platform and inform roadmap decisions.

- Experience taking emerging technology from concept through production, adoption, and scale in a highly regulated enterprise, partnering with risk, legal, privacy, cybersecurity, and compliance teams.
- Experience with AI interoperability and integration patterns, including orchestration and connections between AI solutions and enterprise tools.
- Experience evaluating build, buy, reuse, and partnership options and turning technical tradeoffs into clear product and investment recommendations.
- Experience with HR technology and data ecosystems, such as Workday, ServiceNow HRSD, PeopleSoft, SAP, Oracle, or comparable platforms.
