• Lead end-to-end process reimagination: Partner with Guidewire employees to map current-state processes that span across functions (e.g., IT, Finance, Procurement, etc.), identify friction, and redesign them from first principles for an AI-native world rather than layering AI onto legacy workflows.

• Prototype and pilot rapidly: Use approved AI platforms and agile methods to test redesigned processes with real users, gather feedback, and iterate before full-scale rollout.

• Deliver adoption and reinforcement: Design and deliver user-adoption, training, and reinforcement initiatives.
• Partner across teams and advocate for employees: Partner with project teams, business stakeholders, and functional departments to support successful implementation and sustained usage; advocate for employees affected by change and bring empathy, clarity, and respect to each engagement.
• Monitor adoption and feedback: Define and monitor adoption measures, feedback mechanisms, and continuous-improvement actions.

Events and employee engagement

• Coordinate employee events: Organize, promote, and facilitate Employee Engagement Advocate events, including All Hands, VP Huddles, office lunches, Guidewire Gives Back activities, leadership visits, lunch-and-learns.

• Create communications and content: Create newsletters, FAQs, intranet content, email messages, Slack posts, internal social updates, presentations, talking points, job aids, and project updates.

• Experience coordinating multiple projects, deadlines, stakeholders, communication channels, and events.
• Strong creative and visual-design skills, with the ability to create clear and engaging presentations, videos, graphics, and job aids.
