Vice President, Global People Operations
Location: Global
Reports to: President & COO
Team: ~20 globally**
The Opportunity
We are seeking a high-impact, systems-oriented People leader — likely at the Director or Senior Director level today — who is ready to step into enterprise VP scope.
You will lead a global team of approximately 20 and own the operational backbone of the employee lifecycle across multiple countries.
This role does not oversee Talent Acquisition or Learning & Development. Instead, it focuses on:
• People Operations strategy & governance
• Compensation and organizational design infrastructure
• Workforce planning and analytics
• HR systems (including WorkDay optimization)
• Global process standardization
• End-to-end employee lifecycle execution
If you are energized by building structure, modernizing systems, and scaling operational excellence — this role is for you.
What You Will Do
Lead Global People Operations
• Consolidate and unify People Operations under a clear model
• Define KPIs, dashboards, and executive reporting
• Establish governance, standards, and accountability across regions
• Lead and develop a 25-person global team located primarily in the Philippines, Kenya, and Guatemala
Modernize Infrastructure
• Optimize and expand WorkDay adoption
• Ensure clean data architecture and reporting rigor
• Identify automation opportunities and eliminate inefficiencies
• Build scalable, repeatable processes
Elevate Compensation & Org Design
• Standardize global leveling frameworks
• Renovate compensation structures and pay architecture
• Improve span-of-control discipline and org modeling
• Partner with Finance on workforce planning alignment
Strengthen the Employee Lifecycle
• Redesign onboarding and offboarding processes
• Standardize performance management governance
• Institutionalize succession planning infrastructure
• Lead engagement measurement and action planning
• Ensure consistent employee experience across countries
What Success Looks Like (First 18 Months)
• A unified and clearly defined global People Operations model
• Stabilized and optimized WorkDay ecosystem
• Standardized compensation and leveling architecture
• Embedded workforce planning discipline
• Clear, measurable People Operations KPIs
• Improved operational efficiency and employee experience metrics
What We’re Looking For
Experience
• 10–15+ years progressive HR / People Operations leadership
• Currently Director or Senior Director (or equivalent) in a global organization
• Experience leading HR Operations, Total Rewards, or People Infrastructure
• Direct experience with enterprise HRIS implementation (WorkDay preferred)
• Compensation architecture and org design exposure
• Experience managing multi-country processes
Capabilities
• Systems thinker who builds scalable infrastructure
• Strong financial and workforce planning acumen
• Data-driven and analytically rigorous
• Experienced people leader comfortable managing distributed teams
• Strong cross-functional partner with Finance and Technology
• Builder mindset — comfortable operating in evolving environments
Why This Role Is Compelling
• True VP scope with enterprise visibility
• Lead a global team of ~20
• Opportunity to build — not inherit — a mature system
• Direct exposure to executive leadership
• Chance to modernize People Operations for a 4,000-person organization
This is an opportunity to move from functional leadership into enterprise impact.
If you are ready to step into VP-level responsibility and build something enduring, we would love to meet you.
