About the role
As part of our strategy, a key ambition is to be a Great Place to Work. Being a great place to work includes driving innovation and excellence in our HR. To support that ambition, we are continuing the digitalisation and development of our global HR processes, creating more consistent and seamless experiences for managers, employees and HR across our organisation in the more than 25 countries in which we operate.
Workday is a key enabler of our standardized process landscape across the HR organization, providing scalability and consistency for future growth. Our journey continues as we further utilise the platform, bring more processes into Workday. Our agenda for the next years is covering various initiatives to strengthen the manager and employee experience.
This role is positioned within our People Division HR Centre of Excellence (CoE), reporting to the Global Head of CoE. Working closely with colleagues across the CoE, PeopleTech, Regional HR Service Delivery and Global HR Business Partners, you will help shape scalable and connected global HR processes that support DFDS as we continue to evolve.
Bringing together business understanding and an outside-in perspective, you will help set the direction for our global HR processes. With Workday as a key enabler, you will drive opportunities to simplify, standardise and digitalise the way we work, while ensuring our processes are scalable across our global organisation.
