Job Description:

POSITION SUMMARY

The Vice President, HR Transformation Management Office (TMO) will lead enterprise-wide HR transformation across People & Culture’s most strategic initiatives. This role serves as the organization’s transformation “mission control,” ensuring complex, cross-functional work is aligned, sequenced, and executed to deliver measurable business impact.

The VP, HR TMO will not directly own all initiatives, but will act as the enterprise orchestrator—connecting workstreams, surfacing dependencies, accelerating decisions, and removing barriers. This leader will shape transformation at scale by embedding agile, AI-enabled ways of working and clear mechanisms for intake, prioritization, governance, and escalation.

This is a highly visible leadership role partnering closely with senior executives across HR, Workforce Technology, Finance, and business teams. The successful candidate will operate strategically while driving disciplined execution, ensuring every transformation priority is explicitly connected to Disney’s broader business strategy.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design, launch, and run the TMO as the enterprise hub for transformation work

  • Align and integrate HR and People & Culture transformation initiatives across the enterprise to ensure clear prioritization and effective sequencing

  • Embed agile, scalable transformation practices beyond traditional governance

  • Bring external market perspective on transformation, AI, and evolving operating models

Portfolio & Program Management

  • Turn People & Culture strategic priorities and objectives into clear workplans with owners, milestones, dependencies, decisions, and outcomes

  • Spot risks and duplication early, then push for practical mitigation

  • Build integrated roadmaps that show progress, risks, tradeoffs, and where leadership action is needed

  • Facilitate executive tradeoff decisions across funding, scope, and resources

Governance & Executive Decision Support

  • Design and lead governance forums with the right agenda, materials, and decision context

  • Drive alignment on priorities, sequencing, tradeoffs, and required action

  • Keep discussions focused on choices, risks, value, and accountability, not status updates

Organizational Adoption

  • Evolve operating models, AI-enabled ways of working, and leadership behaviors

  • Build adoption through stakeholder engagement, communications planning, readiness checkpoints, feedback loops, and change management strategies

  • Foster a culture of prioritization, accountability, and enterprise thinking

Value Realization & Execution

  • Define value clearly, then track business impact, adoption, ROI, and benefits realization

  • Use progress reviews, course corrections, and decision checkpoints to maintain momentum

  • Put the tools, dashboards, and frameworks in place to monitor progress, adoption, benefits, and risks

Stakeholder Partnership

  • Partner with senior leaders across HR, Workforce Technology, Finance, Operations, and Corporate Functions

  • Act as a trusted advisor to transformation sponsors and executive stakeholders

  • Use structured stakeholder engagement, working sessions, and executive pre-briefs to clarify ownership, resolve dependencies, and build alignment before formal decision points.

  • Collaborate with external consulting partners, vendors, and implementation teams

Team Leadership

  • Build a high-performing TMO team with strong talent, coaching, and clear growth paths

  • Create repeatable routines, templates, and standards that make the work easier to execute and scale

  • Partner with Internal Communications and People Analytics to reinforce adoption and impact

QUALIFICATIONS

Required Experience

  • Proven leadership of modern, large-scale, AI-powered enterprise transformations in large, complex, matrixed organizations

  • Management consulting experience strongly preferred

Leadership Capabilities

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

  • Exceptional executive presence and communication

  • Enterprise mindset and systems thinking

  • Ability to influence without direct authority

  • Strategic thinking paired with operational rigor

  • Comfort navigating ambiguity and complexity

  • Ability to drive difficult prioritization and tradeoff decisions

  • Resilience, adaptability, and change leadership

  • AI fluency

  • Data-driven decision-making

  • Bias for action, simplification, and measurable outcomes

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience required; advanced degree in Human Resources, Organizational Development, or a related HR discipline preferred

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
