Head of People Systems

Dandy is transforming the massive and antiquated dental industry—an industry worth over $200B. Backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital firms, we’re on an ambitious mission to simplify and modernize every function of the dental practice through technology. As we expand our reach globally, Dandy is building the operating system for dental offices around the world—empowering clinicians and their teams with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practices, their people, and their patients.

About the Role

At Dandy, we're reimagining the way People systems support people-first cultures. We’re looking for a Head of People Systems who’s excited to make an impact by optimizing how our teams access and interact with critical People tools. You’ll lead the charge on managing our HRIS platform (UKG), applicant tracking system (Ashby), driving innovation, and creating experiences that are efficient, seamless, and human-centered.

This is more than just a systems role — it’s a chance to shape how technology supports our people and culture as we scale.

What You'll Do

• Own the administration and optimization of our People systems (UKG, Ashby, Lattice, TeamOhana) ensuring it runs smoothly and securely.

• Serve as the technical expert across HRIS modules including Core HCM, Payroll, Benefits, Compensation, Absence, Time Tracking, Security, and Reporting.

• Partner with People, Finance, and IT teams to gather requirements and deliver scalable solutions.

• Drive automation and process improvements that reduce manual work and improve the employee experience.

• Expand and enhance self-service capabilities for employees and managers, making information easier to find and use.

• Lead system integrations, workflows, and configuration updates in alignment with business needs.

• Manage, coach, and mentor a team of HRIS professionals to deliver quality results for our internal customers.

• Drive the integration and successful adoption of new AI capabilities across People Systems, such as predictive analytics, intelligent automation, and generative AI tools, to optimize HR processes and self-service.

What We're Looking For

• You have deep experience managing and optimizing HR systems, specifically UKG Pro and WFM (required).

• You bring a strong understanding of HR operations, from hire to retire.

• You’re tech-savvy and analytical — and you love turning data into insights and action.

• You’ve worked with tools like Ashby, Deel, Lattice, or similar platforms and understand how they connect within the People tech ecosystem.

• You’re a collaborative partner who communicates clearly and can explain complex topics to any audience.

• You’re a self-starter who’s curious, solutions-focused, and always looking for ways to improve systems and processes.
