  • Develop and monitor KPIs / metrics to assess HR Services effectiveness and implement improvement.
  • Drive digital transformation initiatives (e.g., HR automation, self‑service tools) to enhance service delivery.
  • Champion process excellence by identifying opportunities for automation, simplification, and standardization.
  • Resolve complex HR operational issues and escalate as needed while maintaining compliance.
  • Navigating complex and evolving environments with agility, providing clear direction and support to teams.
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation in HR operations.
  • Mentor and develop the HR operations team, promoting professional growth and operational excellence.

  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • Experience in process improvement methodologies (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma) is a plus.
  • What We’re Looking For
