A globally renowned international organisation operating across multiple regions is seeking an experienced Senior HR Project Lead to support the delivery of several critical people projects during a period of transformation. This is an exciting opportunity to join a complex, fast-paced business with a truly global workforce and make a significant impact on key HR initiatives.


Your new role

  • Compensation and benefits review programmes
  • HR data cleansing and improvement activities
  • Global HR policy development and implementation
  • Supporting wider HR transformation and change programmes

Whilst much of this role can be undertaken remotely, attendance will be required on site regularly at the Liverpool base and, therefore, the client will only consider applications from individuals who live within a reasonable commute of this base.

  • Extensive HR project management experience within large, complex organisations
  • A proven track record of delivering multiple concurrent HR projects
  • Experience managing stakeholders across international regions and time zones (ESSENTIAL)
  • Strong change management and influencing skills
  • Previous experience working within a US-owned organisation (ESSENTIAL)
  • The ability to operate at senior leadership level and work closely with an HR Director
  • Engineering, energy or manufacturing sector experience would be advantageous, although candidates from other sectors will also be considered.

What you'll get in return

  • Majority remote working arrangement
  • Opportunity to lead high-profile global HR projects
  • Flexible day rate or salary dependent on experience
  • Initial 6-12 month temporary assignment with potential for extension
  • Immediate consideration for suitable candidates.
