• Experience: 
  • Several years of experience in HR digitalization, HR technology, HR systems governance, or HR transformation.
  • Proven experience in leading teams as well as steering international stakeholders without disciplinary authority.
  • Experience with HRIS environments (ideally SAP SuccessFactors); ability to steer experts rather than configure systems.
  • Strong experience in change management within digital transformation contexts.
  • Ideally experience working with both white- and blue-collar user groups.
• Expertise:
  • Strong project management and stakeholder management capabilities.
  • Understanding of digital HR process landscapes, governance structures, and data privacy requirements (e.g. GDPR).
  • Excellent communication, influencing, and collaboration skills across hierarchical levels and international environments.
  • Analytical mindset and a hands-on, solution-oriented, proactive approach.
• Language Skills: Very good English skills, ideally first German skills
• Personality: Strategic thinker with strong leadership presence, excellent communication skills, and a “Can-Do” attitude. Enjoys enabling teams, driving change, and improving processes continuously.
