About the role

WD is seeking a strategic and hands-on Director of People Technology to lead a team of Business Systems Analysts delivering scalable HR technology solutions across People functions. You will mentor a high-performing team, translate business needs into design, and drive multi-year roadmaps across the HR tech stack. The role requires deep HR technology expertise, strong stakeholder management, and the ability to balance quick wins with long-term transformation to improve employee experience.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
