APi Group is modernizing how we attract, grow, reward, and care for our 30,000+ teammates worldwide. We’re looking for a builder who sees technology as an amplifier of human potential—not just automation. You’ll own our people technology ecosystem and data platform, turning complexity into speed, clarity, and great teammate experiences.

• Lead the multi‑year transformation of our global HCM, payroll, and time keeping systems (Oracle HCM Cloud, UKG & Passport) across recruiting, onboarding, time, payroll, learning, talent, and total rewards.
• Stand up a scalable people data foundation—governance, metrics, self‑serve dashboards, and predictive insights.
• Shape product strategy, roadmap, and operating model in partnership with People Team, IT, and Operations.

• Own the functional strategy and service delivery. Create the long‑term strategy for people technology & analytics and deliver the roadmap; run intake, sequencing, and value measurement.
• Be the connective tissue. Co‑create with the People COEs, field operations, Finance, and IT to design end‑to‑end processes that reduce friction and scale globally.
• Identify and solve people‑related business challenges. Partner with field and functional leaders to surface pain points, translate them into clear problem statements and measurable outcomes, prioritize by impact/effort, partner with IT to deliver scalable data‑driven solutions, and track results to iterate.
• Champion people and manage experience in all designs. Use journey mapping and feedback loops to simplify work for frontline leaders and teammates.
• Product leadership. Provide strategic oversight for our entire people technology stack and strategy. Additionally, establish functional product ownership for HCM modules; oversee configuration; ensure secure, sustainable process and technology solutions.
• Data & analytics. Define KPIs and canonical metrics (headcount, turnover, productivity, safety, DEI, total rewards); build a self‑service layer and advanced analytics (forecasting, segmentation, attrition risk).
• Governance & quality. Stand up data stewardship, prioritize feature and functional development, create quality SLAs and defect/incident playbooks.
• Compliance. Ensure privacy, and auditability across HR data (SOX, GDPR/CCPA); enforce role‑based access (AOR), masking, and audit trails.
• Vendor strategy. Partner with IT in managing vendor relationships, SLAs, renewals, and value realization across Oracle and key partners (ATS, LMS, background, time, payroll).
• Change enablement. Lead communications, training, and adoption; ensure frontline leaders and People Team can self‑serve.
• People leadership. Grow and coach a diverse team; establish clear roles, career paths, and a reliable on‑call/support model.

• 10+ years in HR technology/HRIS or People Analytics; 3+ years leading teams and portfolio ownership in a complex, multi‑business enterprise.
• Hands‑on leadership with
  Oracle HCM Cloud
  (configuration and/or program ownership). Experience with ATS, LMS, time, and payroll integrations.
• Process design and change management expertise; proven cross‑functional influence from plant/field operations to the C‑suite.

• Experience owning the People Technology Ecosystem at a global scale
