About the People Systems & Operations Team:
The People Systems and Operations team builds and operates the systems, workflows, and automations the business runs on. We manage every stage of the employee lifecycle and own the design and optimization of the processes behind it. We're accountable for the reliability, scale, and integrity of our People systems.
We're looking for someone who can map broken processes in the morning and design workflows to enable AI and Automation as we scale. This role is the connective tissue between how our People team works today and how it needs to work to meet the growing demands and complexity of our rapidly scaling business.
You'll lead process mapping and redesign across our highest-priority initiatives, while bringing an AI efficiency lens to every intervention. You'll translate process realities from the ground floor into system requirements, identify where automation creates leverage, and help the broader People team to work differently. This is a consulting, project management, and hands-on builder role all at once.
In this role you'll have the opportunity to:
- Map & optimize end-to-end workflows: Lead current- and future-state process mapping across People initiatives to eliminate friction, reduce manual lift, and accelerate execution.
- Diagnose root causes: Challenge assumptions and help leaders distinguish whether a bottleneck stems from a process flaw, a systems limitation, or a change management gap.
- Establish scalable standards: Define documentation, handoffs, and governance frameworks so teams operate with consistency and low variability as Wealthsimple scales.
- Translate needs into technical requirements: Partner with our People Systems team to convert business challenges into actionable specs, identifying where AI agents, LLM tools, or native Workday workflows deliver the highest ROI.
- Apply practical AI judgment: Know the right tool for the job—distinguishing when a problem calls for AI leverage, standard automation, or simply process simplification.
- Define & track metrics: Establish baseline and target metrics (cycle time, throughput, error rates, cost savings) and build post-launch dashboards to ensure sustained adoption and measurable impact.
- Connect systems & data: Collaborate closely with IT, People Systems, and People Analytics to ensure all automations are built on solid data architecture and supported by tight feedback loops.
- Facilitate high-stakes alignment: Lead future-state mapping and design workshops across cross-functional groups—keeping discussions focused, driving key decisions, and securing clear ownership.
- Lead change management: Drive adoption through clear communication, helping teams clarify roles, build scalable habits, and navigate ambiguity during periods of change.
- Elevate AI capabilities: Raise the broader People team’s tech fluency through practical experiments, hands-on learning, and shared tools.
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience in People Operations, HR transformation, process excellence, management consulting, or related fields within complex, scaling organizations, with a track record of redesigning cross-functional processes.
- Strong working knowledge of Workday �
