We are seeking an HR Process, Technology & AI Transformation Business Analyst to redesign how HR programs operate in the age of AI - moving from digitized legacy processes to intelligent, AI-enabled workflows that simplify work, accelerate decisions, and elevate employee and manager experience. This role sits on the business side of HR, partnering with HR program owners, Digital Enablement, People Analytics, and IT to translate business intent into future-ready processes, AI-enabled workflows, and scalable solution designs grounded in SAP SuccessFactors and embedded AI capabilities including Joule.
