The Internal Consulting Senior Manager will play a pivotal role in leading and executing complex, high-impact HR transformation initiatives across a global enterprise. You’ll collaborate with HR Centers of Excellence, HR Technology, business leaders and HR business partners to define strategic direction; and design and deliver large-scale initiatives that modernize how HR operates — driving efficiency, agility, and an enhanced employee experience.

The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker and hands-on executor with a passion for transforming HR processes, technology, and ways of working to meet the evolving needs of a dynamic global organization.

• Partner with workstreams to co-create and manage project scope, objectives, timelines, deliverables, and success metrics aligned with HR and business strategies.

• Oversee complex workstreams spanning multiple functions, geographies, and stakeholder groups, ensuring alignment and collaboration across the enterprise.

• Apply project management best practices (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid) to drive progress, mitigate risks, and ensure accountability at every stage of the initiative.

• Establish project governance frameworks, including steering committees, status reports, and performance metrics.

• Facilitate cross-functional workshops, design sessions, and retrospectives to foster alignment, surface interdependencies, and accelerate decision-making.

• Partner with HR and business leadership to identify transformation priorities and ensure strategic alignment.

• Identify process, behavioral, capability, and technology shifts required across initiatives and then partner with Change Management to translate impacts into communications, training, readiness, and adoption plans.

• Ensure change activities are integrated across workstreams and timed appropriately for stakeholders.

• Drive a culture of accountability, collaboration, and execution excellence within global and virtual project teams.

• Provide leadership and mentorship to project team members and workstream leads to build project management capabilities within HR.

• Partner with HR Analytics & Insights to embed KPIs, dashboards, and measurement frameworks into transformation initiatives.

• Present concise, data-driven updates and insights to executive stakeholders and governance bodies.

• Manage project budgets, vendor relationships, and resource planning to ensure effective use of organizational investments.
