About the Role, We are hiring an Experience Architect to define the enterprise-wide experience architecture for AI-enabled systems across UKG. This role does not build AI models or sit within a single product team. Instead, it operates within Strategy and Enablement, shaping the standards, interaction models, and governance frameworks that ensure AI capabilities integrate coherently across the enterprise. As AI expands across platforms, automation layers, and business workflows, the risk is not individual feature quality. The risk is fragmented interaction models, inconsistent patterns, and erosion of trust. This role exists to prevent that fragmentation. You will operate horizontally across initiatives, partnering with product, engineering, data, and enterprise AI teams to define how humans and intelligent systems collaborate at scale. This is a strategic role focused on coherence, scalability, and long-term experience health across UKGu2019s AI transformation.

This is a remote position About You: The ideal candidate is an enterprise-minded experience leader who thinks in systems rather than screens. They are comfortable working upstream, bringing clarity to ambiguity and aligning teams around scalable interaction principles, workflow models, and governance standards. They understand how enterprise systems, data, automation, and AI intersect, and can translate technical discussions into coherent human interaction frameworks. Operating horizontally across teams, they identify patterns across initiatives and establish standards that drive consistency, trust, and long-term scalability. This individual is motivated by enterprise impact and recognizes that in the AI era, intentional experience architecture is essential to adoption, coherence, and operational effectiveness.
