Develop and implement change management, communication, and training strategies to support adoption and sustainment of new processes or tools.

Apply a fit-for-purpose methodology (agile, hybrid, or waterfall) based on project context, ensuring flexibility while meeting business needs and quality standards.

Track and manage all aspects of delivery using industry best practices (e.g., RAID management, project health checks, KPIs), and ensure budget and resources are optimized.

Serve as an Agile Coach, mentoring individuals and teams on agile ways of working, embedding an agile mindset across the P&C organization.

Provide hands-on coaching, tools, and frameworks to build project and agile maturity in the team and across the broader network.

Proactively identify opportunities to streamline HR processes and champion continuous improvement in service delivery.

5–7+ years of global project management experience, ideally in the People & Culture / HR space, with a track record of leading transformational projects.

Demonstrated experience influencing and engaging C-level stakeholders in complex, matrixed organizations.

Proven ability to lead HR transformation initiatives, including digital implementations, operating model shifts, and process redesign.

Certified in Project Management (PMI/PMP), Agile methodologies (Scrum), and Change Management. Design Thinking certification is a plus.

Strong command of project tools and digital collaboration platforms, preferably Google Workspace and enterprise project management systems.
