Altum Consulting is supporting a market leading organisation who is rolling out a new global HR operating model. They are looking for a seasoned HR Operating Model Implementation Manager to join a pivotal moment in the programme's delivery phase. This is a great opportunity to play a key role in helping deliver one of the largest HR transformation programmes in its sector. With the design phase complete and signed off, the focus is now firmly on implementation and stakeholder engagement. This role is about bringing the blueprint to life - helping stand up the new HR operating model, embedding real change in the team's new ways of working, managing complex stakeholder engagement, and helping teams navigate the human side of transformation.

What we're looking for:

• Hands-on experience in implementing HR operating model change and transitioning to shared service models
• Experience on large-scale, complex global HR transformation programmes
• A functional background in HR business partnering
• Ideally experience of setting up internal HR consultancies
• A pragmatic, sleeves-rolled-up delivery style, solving problems on the ground
• A flexible approach and comfortable working with ambiguity
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills - especially in high-stakes or sensitive environments
• A resilient, calm presence who can steer the team through pressure points and transition milestones

Why this opportunity?

• Join a major HR programme already in motion - and make an immediate impact
• Work alongside an established consulting team with deep change and operating model expertise
• Lead critical implementation and engagement activity that will shape how HR operates globally
• Structured handover and strong support from internal and external teams

Interviews will be held immediately. Due to the high volume of expected applications we will only be able to contact successful applicants. Thanks for your understanding.
