~2 min readPeople & Culture is changing how we operate, who does what, and how we use AI and automation. We recently brought TA Operations and HR Operations under one roof, launched an AI transformation practice, and began rebuilding our processes from the outcome backward.
We’re now looking for the VP who will own this work.
The VP of AI Transformation & Operational Excellence owns P&C’s transformation agenda in full: strategy, team, execution, and accountability for outcomes. You report directly to the Chief People Officer.
Your scope has three parts:
- →
Own P&C’s AI and automation transformation roadmap: what gets redesigned, in what order, and what outcomes will prove it worked.
- →
For every key P&C process, decide: fully automate, enhance with AI, or keep human. Set that architecture independent of what today's tools can do. Ensure each process has a closed feedback loop.
- →
Establish current-state metrics for every key P&C process so before-and-after impact is measurable.
- →
Influence talent solutions including redefining the new expectations of people leaders in managing agents and humans, and the impact of agents on job architecture, etc.
- →
Partner with the Chief People Officer to rethink Avalara’s enterprise-wide operating models for AI.
Supporting diversity and inclusion is a cornerstone of our company — we don’t want people to fit into our culture, but to enrich it. All qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, age, gender, national orientation, disability, sexual orientation, US Veteran status, or any other factor protected by law. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, please let us know.
Own P&C’s central AI and automation capability so agents that touch multiple parts of the lifecycle are built once and reused across P&C.
Partner closely with People Technology and Avalara’s broader AI Center of Excellence so P&C requirements shape what gets built and P&C can operate what ships.
Build your own agentic solutions and automations within your team’s processes.
Maintain org charts and workflows showing which work is done by AI agents and which by humans across P&C, and update them as the operating model evolves.
