Description
We are hiring a Director, Global People Operations, to own and scale the global operating backbone for the employee lifecycle. This role reports directly to the VP, People, and is a key member of the People and Culture leadership team. As a Director, Global People Operations, you will be responsible for building and leading the Global People Operations function, including defining the team structure, setting clear ownership and interfaces, and hiring and developing talent. You will also own Workday end-to-end, including data integrity, process design, governance, roadmap, and adoption, with a focus on manager and employee experience.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning the global People Operations strategy and execution, translating hypergrowth business needs into centralized, compliant, automated workflows that scale.
- Building durable compliance foundations, including SOX-related People processes and controls that are reliable, auditable, and operationally practical.
- Driving workflow automation and process improvements to reduce manual work, increase speed, and improve quality and consistency.
- Leveraging modern tools, including AI, to improve employee experiences, speed to resolution, and knowledge capture, without compromising privacy and compliance.
In the first 90 days, you will align with the VP, People, on priorities, operating principles, success criteria, and non-negotiables for Global People Operations. You will assess the current state of global People Operations, including onboarding, Workday, data integrity, SOX controls, and workflow automation. You will define a focused 6–12 month roadmap that balances foundational fixes, automation wins, and scale readiness.
In 12 months, you will have achieved the following:
- People Operations is recognized as a high-performing global engine that enables speed and scale across CoreWeave.
- Onboarding is a measurable differentiator that improves speed to productivity and employee confidence early in tenure.
- SOX-related People processes and controls are reliable, auditable, and operationally practical.
- Workday is optimized, trusted, and easier for managers and employees to use, with improved data integrity and adoption.
- Core employee lifecycle workflows are centralized, clear, and automated where it matters, reducing manual work and cycle times.
- Service delivery is faster, more consistent, and more transparent, with improved speed to resolution and fewer escalations.
- AI-enabled support and automation improves employee experience and operational throughput in targeted, high-value areas.
- The team operates with clear ownership, strong delivery, and the ability to reprioritize as business needs shift.
To succeed in this role, you will need to have proven experience building and scaling global People Operations in a high-growth or rapidly evolving company. You will need to have demonstrated ownership of HRIS strategy and operations, including Workday governance, process design, and data integrity. You will need to have strong operating judgment across compliance, controls, and scalable workflow design, including SOX-relevant environments or similar control maturity.
You will be a strong communicator and partner with People Business Partners, Talent, and future Total Rewards while maintaining clear ownership boundaries. You will have curiosity and fluency with modern approaches, including thoughtful use of AI to improve employee experience and operational throughput.
