  • Oversee a cross-functional matrix team, including business analysts, internal stakeholders, and external vendors.
About You:
  • Strong experience leading HRIS or HR transformation projects within complex environments.
  • Experience with cloud-based HR platforms (e.g. Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM) is essential.
  • Skilled in capability modelling, systems discovery, and stakeholder alignment.
  • Comfortable working in a low maturity technical environment with limited documentation.
  • Experience managing procurement processes and vendor engagement.
Contract Details:
