• Facilitate cross‑functional workshops and working sessions with business leaders, functional SMEs, and technology partners to drive alignment, decisions, and outcomes.
• Serve as a hands‑on contributor, producing high‑quality deliverables such as process maps, requirements, user stories, SOPs, and executive‑ready materials.
• Partner with data, analytics, and technology teams to support process intelligence, automation, and measurement of impact.
• Help establish and maintain process documentation standards, governance, and reusable frameworks within Talent Excellence.
• Track adoption and performance of implemented improvements, supporting follow‑through and course‑correction where needed.
• Adapt quickly to shifting priorities, balancing structured planning with pragmatic execution to move work forward in a dynamic environment.

• 5+ years of experience leading or owning business process mapping, process design, and improvement initiatives, ideally in complex or global environments.
• Demonstrated ability to translate business problems into practical, implementable solutions across people, process, data, and technology.
• Strong facilitation and influencing skills, with experience working across organizational boundaries and driving alignment without authority.
• Proven ability to operate in a hands‑on, execution‑oriented role, producing high‑quality outputs while managing multiple priorities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience tailoring content for varied audiences.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline.

The ideal candidate will have  

•  Experience with  the  HR or talent‑related processes (e.g., talent acquisition, onboarding, learning, performance management).
• Experience working with SuccessFactors or similar HR platforms.
• Familiarity with business process modeling standards/tools (e.g., BPMN) and process intelligence or process mining solutions.
