• Data Integrity, Reporting & Insights: Establish and maintain data integrity standards, validation rules, and monitoring processes. Ensure data accuracy, accessibility, and consistency across systems. Partner with analytics teams to align on reporting frameworks and enable actionable insights.
• AI Enablement & Innovation: Leverage AI-enabled capabilities (e.g., candidate matching, chatbots, recommendations, content generation) to optimize recruiting and learning processes. Evaluate and implement AI-driven tools and features across systems. Identify high-impact use cases for AI to improve efficiency, personalization, and decision-making. Partner with stakeholders to drive responsible and scalable adoption of AI solutions.
• Troubleshooting, Governance & Best Practices: Troubleshoot complex system issues and perform root cause analysis using structured problem-solving approaches. Partner with IT and Security to ensure system reliability, compliance, and scalability. Establish and document best practices for system configuration, usage, and maintenance. Maintain comprehensive technical documentation (system architecture, data flows, configurations).
• Leadership & Cross-Functional Impact: Act as a technical subject matter expert for recruiting and learning systems. Partner with Recruiting and Learning & Development teams to translate business needs into technical solutions. Collaborate with Business Technology / IT on integrations, architecture, and system performance. Engage with vendors and external partners to support implementations and roadmap alignment.
