ArchitectConstruction & Real Estate

At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection.

As Strategic Business Architect Lead Consultant, you will be the bridge between business needs and HR delivery. You will translate strategic priorities into clear, scalable people processes and experiences that drive real impact. Reporting into the People Analytics and Business Architecture director, you will lead process architecture efforts, champion end-to-end redesign, and ensure HR capabilities evolve to meet the demands of a dynamic, AI-enabled, global protection provider. This is more than process improvement, it’s about accelerating business transformation by aligning HR programs, policies, and experiences directly with what the business needs to thrive.

We seek individuals who are compelling storytellers, collaborative problem-solvers, and execution-driven professionals. This role will drive support across Workday Core HCM and champion our India and Northern Ireland regions.
