In this role, you will apply strong problem-solving, structured project management, and stakeholder engagement to deliver initiatives that make a real impact on our employees and business. You will collaborate closely with colleagues across senior leadership, the People team (e.g. People Partners, People Operations) and the wider organisation, acting as a trusted partner and driver of change.

• Break down complex problems into structured, actionable workstreams and ensure execution excellence.
• Facilitate effective communication, ensuring timely and transparent information flow among all project participants, senior management, and other key stakeholders.
• Support change management: design communication, trainings, and resources that foster buy-in and support employees through change.

What you will need to succeed

• You bring 4+ years of experience in management consulting, and program or project management. Experience within People/HR is a nice to have.
• Strong problem-solving skills help you structure and simplify complex issues into actionable steps.
• With excellent organisational skills, you manage multiple initiatives simultaneously and deliver results on time.
• Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills (both written and verbal) enable you to work confidently across all levels of the organisation.
• You feel comfortable working with data to inform decisions (e.g., analysing trends, preparing summaries, drawing insights).
• You take a solution-oriented and pragmatic approach, striving for excellence while keeping impact and practicality in mind.
