  • Compensation and Governance : Have a firm grasp of designing competitive and compliant compensation strategies that reflect our values and attract top-tier talent. You’ll be responsible for ensuring our HR practices align with legal and ethical standards globally.
  • Change Agent : Bring proven experience in leading large-scale transformations, from organizational redesign to new technology implementations. You’re expected to navigate change with resilience and empathy, ensuring buy-in at all levels.
  • Data-Driven Decision-Making : Leverage analytics and HR technology to monitor workforce performance and inform strategic decisions. You should naturally combine intuition with data to shape your approach.
