About the Role: We're looking for a Senior Director Analyst to help HR Leaders (i.e., Chief Human Resources Officers, Chief People Officers, Talent Management Leaders) understand and drive their HR Technology strategies and initiatives, while also working with Technology Leaders to identify, select, and boost the effectiveness of HR and Talent Management Technologies.
