Salary: Competitive
We are conducting a confidential search for an experienced HR Transformation Project Manager to deliver several important people-function projects within a changing organisation.
This is a hands-on delivery role covering HR systems, employee benefits, shared services and payroll. We need someone who has implemented these changes in practice—not simply supported them as part of a wider programme.
Key responsibilities
- Lead the implementation and rollout of a new HRIS, coordinating requirements, configuration, testing, data migration and go-live
- Establish and implement employee benefits, working with internal stakeholders and external providers
- Review and improve HR shared-services processes and ways of working
- Support the setup, transition and effective management of payroll operations
- Create and manage the project plan, milestones, risks, dependencies and governance
- Coordinate HR, Finance, Payroll, Technology and third-party suppliers
- Lead stakeholder communication, training and change adoption
- Ensure new processes, controls and responsibilities are clearly documented and embedded
