You will have Senior HR Business Partner, Organisational Development or P&C; Leadership experience and have gained experience delivering systems implementations, transformation projects or process improvements throughout your HR career.
Our goal is to achieve an elevated employee experience from every improvement and project we deliver.

Working closely with the GM P&C; Systems, OD & Capability, IT function and business stakeholders, you will ensure our projects realise the agreed outcomes. This may include translating P&C; requirements into practical solutions that make processes simpler and improve the experience for employees, managers, and P&C; teams.
You will be an important bridge between P&C; and technology, partnering with IT Business Applications while bringing the HR knowledge, business understanding and stakeholder capability needed to deliver practical outcomes.

- Ability to manage multiple priorities and projects.
- A practical continuous-improvement mindset and genuine interest in how technology can make P&C; simpler and more effective.
Experience

compliance and governance.
