• Project Planning & Delivery: Develop and maintain a comprehensive project plan with clearly defined milestones, risks, and dependencies.
• Functionality & Service Assurance: Work with operational and technical teams to define, test, and validate the required functionality of the new system.
• Training & Change Management: Embed training into the project plan, ensuring HR teams around the world are fully prepared for go-live and system adoption.
• Risk Management: Proactively identify risks and issues, develop mitigation strategies, and escalate as needed.
• Reporting & Governance: Provide regular updates to senior leadership, highlighting progress, risks, and deviations from plan.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience managing digital projects, particularly in contract-driven or public sector environments.
• Hands-on experience with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), including implementation or supplier oversight.
• Strong grasp of project management methodologies such as Agile or PRINCE2.
• Experience delivering platform transitions or digital system migrations.
