  • Manage the end to end delivery lifecycle of People Operation programs including scheduling, resourcing, budgeting, tracking, benefits and communication
  • Monitor the performance of the entire People Operations portfolio of programs and projects, identify and contain risks through action
  • Provide guidance, training, and mentorship to project and program managers and improve program management practices
  • Facilitate the change management process and ensure that changes are managed effectively
  • Drive programs to deliver organisational efficiencies by building scalable solutions that leverage automation and AI capabilities
  • Act as a strategic partner by proactively fostering strong relationships throughout the program lifecycle

Qualifications

  • Minimum 10+ years of relevant work experience managing complex programs, with at least 4-5 years of extensive experience in managing HR programs in a highly agile, fast changing environment
