About the Role

You’ll work closely with HR, Technology, and market teams to shape processes, define requirements, and support the rollout of new HR capabilities, including the implementation of a new Learning platform. It’s a great fit for someone who combines strong analytical discipline with hands‑on HR transformation experience and the confidence to lead their own workstream.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead end‑to‑end process and requirements definition for a defined HR workstream, ensuring clarity, alignment, and traceability.
* Partner with HR subject‑matter experts to capture, challenge, and refine business needs.
* Produce high‑quality process maps, user stories, functional requirements, and supporting documentation.
* Support the implementation of a new Learning platform, ensuring processes, data, and user journeys are well‑designed and globally scalable.
* Work with global and local market teams to balance standardisation with localisation needs, managing tensions constructively and ensuring decisions are well‑governed.
* Contribute to testing cycles, change impact assessments, and readiness activities across multiple markets.
* Collaborate with programme leadership to ensure risks, issues, and dependencies are clearly understood and managed.
About You
* 3 - 5+ years’ experience as a Business Analyst, ideally within HR or people‑focused transformation programmes.
* Direct experience working on at least one major HR transformation, with exposure to global design and rollout.
* Workday functional experience
* Experience supporting or leading the implementation of a Learning platform (LMS/LXP) is strongly preferred.
* Skilled in requirements capture, process mapping, and translating complex needs into clear, actionable documentation.
* Comfortable leading your own area of scope while working collaboratively within a wider programme team.
* Strong stakeholder‑management skills, with the ability to navigate global vs. local priorities and influence decisions constructively.
* Confident working in fast‑paced, matrixed environments with multiple workstreams and stakeholders.
