What You Bring * Proven experience (5+ years) in project management or a similar role.* Strong knowledge of HR systems preferred (e.g., Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM, ADP, or similar platforms).* Project Management and/ or Scrum Master certification (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile) is highly desirable.* Excellent leadership, organizational, and communication skills.* Familiarity with HR processes, compliance regulations, and best practices. Why You'll Love It Here * Opportunity to lead innovative projects that impact the organization's HR strategy and employee experience.* Work in a dynamic and collaborative environment with a focus on professional growth and development.
