Artificial Intelligence. Actual Impact.

The People Systems AI Architect sits at the intersection of People, Product/AI, IT, and Data/BI. This senior individual contributor is responsible for designing and delivering the agentic AI and automation layer across People workflows-turning traditional Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, Payroll, lifecycle, and service processes into intelligent, AI-enabled experiences for employees, managers, and People teams. You'll work primarily across our core People tech stack (Dayforce, Ashby, Zendesk, Glean, CultureAmp, Okta, Slack/Google Workspace, and our shared data warehouse/BI stack), and help define how we layer AI orchestration and automation on top of it.

This role is ideal for someone who has fundamentally changed how they work because of AI: you actively use LLMs, orchestration platforms, and AI agents to research faster, design better, ship automations, and document without friction. You will shape the roadmap for workflow orchestration agents, decision-support agents, and advisory/coaching agents across the People function, helping HRBPs, People Ops, Talent, Rewards, Payroll, Workplace, and Learning teams move away from manual execution and coordination towards strategy, design, and advisory work.

Key responsibilities

• Own and maintain a pipeline of AI and automation use cases across People (lifecycle, Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, Payroll, People Ops service, Workplace, and adjacent workflows).
• Prioritise initiatives based on impact, risk, feasibility, and alignment with People and business strategy, in partnership with People leadership and key stakeholders.
• Design and deploy agent-driven workflows that orchestrate complex, multi-step processes across systems and teams with minimal manual coordination (e.g., onboarding, offboarding, offer-to-hire, comp cycles, benefits/payroll events).
• Collaborate with the People Systems Architect to ensure underlying workflows, states, and data structures are agent-friendly (clear steps, owners, SLAs, and error paths).
• Implement robust monitoring, logging, and alerting for AI-enabled workflows so issues can be detected, investigated, and corrected quickly.
• Design decision-support agents that continuously analyse data and surface recommendations, scenarios, and risks to People and business leaders (e.g., comp change validations, hiring and headcount insights, risk patterns in tickets and lifecycle events).
• Partner with Data/BI to build and maintain dashboards underpinning these agents, with clear metrics and definitions.
• Establish review and override patterns so HRBPs and leaders own the decision logic while AI provides options, context, and risk flags.
• Design and implement always-on advisory agents that provide context-aware guidance to employees and managers on People topics, integrated into Slack, email, and internal portals, with clear escalation rules for high-stakes or complex cases.
• Reimagine how employees, managers, and People teams interact with People systems by embedding experiences into the flow of work (e.g., AI-powered nudges, in-Slack performance and feedback touchpoints, contextual prompts around key lifecycle events).
• Extend and enhance HRIS, ATS, compensation, and benefits tools through integrations, automation, and modern experience layers, rather than recreating functionality from scratch.
• Define and document AI guardrails: what agents can auto-decide vs where human review is required, and how fairness, compliance, and explainability are safeguarded.
• Work closely with IT, Security, Legal, and Data/BI to align AI implementations with data privacy, security, and regulatory requirements.
• Create reusable patterns, templates, and documentation so AI capabilities can be extended by the People team over time.
• Track KPIs for automations and agents (e.g., automation rates, time-to-resolution, error/rollback rates, satisfaction, time freed for People teams) and iterate based on real usage and feedback.

What you bring

• 5+ years of experience in HR Technology, HRIS ownership, Product Management, People Analytics, or related fields, with substantial time operating as a senior or architect-level individual contributor.
• Strong hands-on experience with enterprise HR systems (e.g., Dayforce, Workday, SuccessFactors or similar) and adjacent tools (ATS, comp/benefits, payroll), including configuration and workflow design.
• Demonstrated track record of designing and delivering production-grade automations or AI-enabled workflows in HR or adjacent business domains, not just prototypes.
• Current, practical AI fluency: you can point to specific LLMs, agents, orchestration tools, or automation platforms you use, what you've built with them, and how they've changed your own way of working.
• Experience designing modern, user-centric experiences for employees, managers, or People teams-ideally embedded in collaboration tools or in-product workflows.
• Strong analytical skills and a data-driven mindset; able to define metrics, work with BI tools/partners, and turn insights into roadmap and design decisions.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills across People teams (People Ops, HRBPs, Talent, Rewards, Payroll, Workplace, Learning), Product/AI, IT, Finance, and Data/BI, with a track record of influencing without authority.
• High standards for data quality, privacy, security, and ethics, particularly when applying AI and automation to compensation, benefits, promotions, and other people decisions.
• Strong communication and change-management skills; you treat documentation, enablement, and adoption as core parts of the job, not afterthoughts.
• Experience in a high-growth or SaaS environment is strongly preferred.
