Lead a full review of the people function, identifying efficiencies and improvement opportunities
Partner with PMO, Finance, IT, and Payroll to align people processes with wider business operations
Support the launch and evolution of the people strategy
Work closely with existing HR leadership to enhance current frameworks
Deliver change in a complex, global, environment
About you:
Proven experience in HR transformation, continuous improvement, or programme-led roles
