  Lead talent intelligence initiatives that inform M&A assessments, org design, strategic workforce planning, and culture evolution—connecting people data to business outcomes.

• Advanced People Analytics & Workday Integration (15%)
  Guide robust statistical and machine learning analyses (e.g., SEM, clustering, forecasting, predictive modeling). Bridge analytics platforms with Workday to extract and operationalize insights across the talent lifecycle.

• Global Team Leadership (10%)
  Lead and evolve the People Insights team into a world-class function. Champion a culture of data literacy across HR through tools, enablement, and strategic partnerships.
