Sitting within Global Technology and embedded with HR, this role owns the strategy, administration, and continuous advancement of HR's technology landscape. The remit spans the core HRIS (HiBob), the employee experience and internal communications platform (built on Staffbase), and the wider portfolio of tools the People function relies on.

This is both a hands-on platform-ownership role and a strategic partnership role:

• Raising the function's digital maturity.
• Ensuring HR systems are secure, integrated, well-governed, and continuously improving.

• Experience owning or administering an employee experience / intranet / internal communications platform – Staffbase strongly preferred (or comparable, e.g., SharePoint-based intranets, Simpplr, Firstup).
• Proven ability to partner with senior HR stakeholders and translate business needs into technical roadmaps.
• Strong understanding of HR data, integrations (APIs / middleware), reporting, and data privacy / security obligations.
• Track record of leading projects and managing vendors in a global, matrixed organization.

Requirements

• Act as the primary technology partner to HR / People leadership, aligning the HR technology roadmap with People strategy and business priorities.
• Translate HR business requirements into scalable technical solutions, build cases for change, and prioritize a portfolio of enhancements and projects.
• Advance HR's technical capabilities and digital maturity – identifying opportunities for automation, AI, analytics, and self-service.
• Own day-to-day administration, configuration, and optimization of HiBob – workflows, fields, permissions, document flows, time-off, performance, and reporting.
• Manage releases, new-feature adoption, data integrity, and HiBob's integration with payroll, identity, finance, and other downstream systems.
• Serve as the escalation point for complex HiBob issues and the design authority for changes.
• Take full ownership of the employee experience platform on Staffbase – content architecture, configuration, governance, user management, and platform administration.
• Partner with Internal Communications to deliver targeted employee journeys, campaigns, and a high-quality digital employee experience.
• Manage the Staffbase relationship, roadmap, integrations, and analytics on adoption and engagement.
• Ensure HR systems meet data privacy, security, and compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR and other applicable regulations) in partnership with Information Security and Legal.
• Establish governance, access controls, and audit practices across the HR technology estate.
• Drive accurate, trusted people data and reporting / analytics that support decision-making.
