You will lead a small team and be the expert in redefining what good HR operations looks like. You'll be asked to take a total view on ways working, process, employee experience and systems, and build a vision for what a future proofed function looks like. It is expected that there will be systems changes, likely a new HRIS implementation - you will steer this tender process and own the project management. With existing systems in place; LMS, ATS, payroll etc., you will need to work closely with centres of excellence to identify best case outcomes, collaboration on systems unification, training and deployment. Of course, as the function that owns people data, compliance and insights, you will pay particular attention to data controls and insights, governance and regulatory compliance requirements. Who are we looking for? You may be a Senior HR Operations specialist, or a more generalist HR or HR projects professional with expertise in systems and overall HR Operations workflows and have experience of delivering full or part HRIS implementation. You should excel in being project owner and, while being strong in the technical aspects of systems and process development, you should be a competent business partner and influencer.
