  • Benefits Realization: Accurately capture and report automation program benefits throughout the project lifecycle, tracking progress against KPIs and validating actual vs. estimated benefits.
  • Continuous Improvement & Upskilling: Drive the adoption of new tools and techniques by partnering with Technology and vendors, and actively contribute to training and upskilling regional and operational leadership on Lean Six Sigma and automation technologies.

  • Ability to challenge the status quo, work under ambiguous circumstances, and demonstrate a strong execution ability with a sense of urgency.
  • Project Management qualification (PMP, PRINCE2 etc.) preferred.
  • International experience in a staffing/recruitment organization is a plus, but not essential.
