This is a horizontal, multi-audience strategy role. You will set the multi-year vision for how employees, managers, and HR partners experience Leaves, and you will define the communications strategy that keeps every stakeholder informed at the moment that matters.

- Drive alignment across A to Z, Payroll, HRSC, Legal, and the AI/agent platform teams, turning competing priorities into a single sequenced roadmap
- Partner with the Native AI platform teams to reimagine communications and support as intelligent, proactive, and personalized
