The opportunity

We’re growing our Business Transformation Delivery practice and are looking for experienced Managers who blend project management discipline with human-centered change expertise to help organizations successfully deliver complex, large-scale transformation programs. Our work sits at the intersection of strategy and execution — supporting clients through technology-enabled change, operating model evolution, process transformation, and workforce enablement.

You will play a key role in turning transformation ambition into tangible results, working in international environments and cross-functional teams to ensure that change is not only well-designed, but effectively delivered, adopted, and sustained.

We are looking for an HR Transformation Manager with strong project management expertise to lead end-to-end HR and People transformation initiatives. You will help organizations redesign how HR operates — across operating model, processes, technology, and service delivery — ensuring measurable business and employee impact.

Your key responsibilities

• Lead HR transformation projects or workstreams (scope, planning, budget, RAID, governance, reporting).
• Design and implement HR operating model transformations.
• Drive HR process optimization using Lean and process improvement approaches; document processes using BPMN.
• Lead or support transformations in core HR domains, including payroll, compensation & benefits, and HR service delivery.
• Support implementation and adoption of HR technology platforms (e.g., SAP HCM / SuccessFactors, Workday, ServiceNow HR, or similar), including process alignment and business readiness.
• Help modernize and standardize payroll and benefits processes, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and improved employee experience.
• Align HR transformation with workforce, skills, and employee experience strategies.
• Establish or strengthen HR PMO and governance structures.
• Track benefits realization and HR performance KPIs, embedding continuous improvement.

To qualify for the role, you must have

• 8–10 years of professional experience in HR transformation and project delivery.
• Strong background in project/program management, ideally in consulting or complex, multi-country programs.
• Deep understanding of end-to-end HR processes and operating models, including exposure to payroll and/or compensation & benefits areas.
• Hands-on exposure to HR platforms, particularly SAP (HCM or SuccessFactors), Workday, ServiceNow HR, or similar solutions.
• Experience with HR process harmonization and standardization across regions or business units.
• Experience with process improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma) and BPMN.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with senior HR, Payroll, and business leaders.
• Excellent English (C1+).

You’ll stand out if you

• Leverage AI tools to analyze HR and payroll data, summarize process findings, and accelerate design of HR operating model materials.
• Develop executive-ready PowerPoint decks that clearly visualize HR transformation journeys, service models, and value cases.
• Use AI to streamline PMO reporting and governance materials for large HR programs.
