In early pilots, while the enterprise method is being established, you may directly undertake elements of the redesign. This hands-on role requires product and technology experience, AI fluency, design thinking and executive influence.\nYour key responsibilities\nTranslate the agreed or emerging future state into implications for roles, skills, capabilities, capacity, workforce shape, team structures, spans, layers, decision rights and performance measures.\nDevelop evidence-based workforce scenarios, options and recommendations, and advise functional leaders on the resulting workforce decisions.\nSurface workforce implications early enough to influence design and investment decisions.\nHelp functions examine how work happens today and rethink it through structured discovery and future-state design, using a repeatable work and workforce transformation methodology.\nFacilitate decisions about what work should be eliminated, simplified, automated, AI-augmented, agent-enabled or retained for human expertise, while the function retains ownership of the work and the decisions.\nChallenge incremental thinking, introduce what AI, automation and agents make possible, and prevent the simple automation of an ineffective existing process.\nHelp functions and Product and Technology build human-in-the-loop checkpoints into future-state work, and reflect them in decision rights, role design and performance measures.\nIdentify implications for job architecture, learning, talent and workforce planning, and hand agreed actions to Business Partners and specialist TPO teams for execution.\nPartner with functions, Product, Technology, Risk, Change Managers, Business Partners and specialist TPO teams, contributing workforce and human-in-the-loop requirements to the enabling solution.\nUse AI to explore options, challenge assumptions and develop coherent workforce scenarios and executive decision papers.

Produce high-quality, audience-appropriate deliverables through effective prompting, iterative refinement, critical evaluation and accountable human review, and explain and defend the reasoning and evidence behind the final output.\nExperience leading complex discovery, design and decision-making across senior stakeholder groups without taking ownership of the work away from the business.\nStrong design-thinking, problem-solving, solutioning, facilitation and executive-influence skills.\nAbility to move between enterprise outcomes, detailed changes in work and their consequences for roles, skills, capacity and structure.\nCourage to challenge assumptions and create credible options where no established answer exists.\nExperience turning analysis into executable workforce, talent or organizational decisions.\nPreferred qualifications\nOrganization design, operating-model redesign or workforce strategy experience applied to technology-enabled transformation.\nAI-enabled or agentic workflow implementation experience.\nProcess-mining, workflow-platform or intelligent-automation experience.\nExperience building and scaling a new enterprise method or capability.\nThe impact you’ll make\nAs a Workforce Architect Principal, you will help turn changes in work into workforce decisions that leaders can understand and act on.
