WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for a forward thinker who leverages their experience to shape and drive change and innovation.

To be successful, you need to have a consultative approach coupled with subject matter expertise across change management, project management, and transformation.

You need to be a problem solver and change driver – we don't just fix the immediate ask, but take ambiguous issues, break them down to understand the root cause, and then design an approach and solution that not only adopts outside thinking, but also brings stakeholders along with us.

You understand that providing great service means understanding and solving the real stakeholder problems and not just doing everything your stakeholders ask for.

Building relationships will also be critical to your success – strong written and verbal communication skills are a must. You need to be able to effectively tailor your communications since we work across all levels of our organization, from C-level and senior leaders, to local teams doing the work.

Beyond being able to perform diligent, effective change and stakeholder management, balance will be crucial. You will need to listen, negotiate, and flex where needed; while also having the stamina and strength to stand your ground on matters that are important and for the greater good.

You need to be outcome-focused with the ability to proactively take initiative, use good judgment to prioritize requests, and be comfortable working with minimal direction.

You will understand the big picture, even when the work gets granular, requiring strong organizational skills – an ability to handle multiple tasks, prioritize them, and carry them out independently. This role does require you to 'roll up your sleeves' and play an active role to make change happen.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

You have a bachelor's degree and preferably an advanced degree. You have experience working in a global team, across cultures and time zones. You have experience in world-class professional services, and ideally you have first-hand experience of project staffing processes. You have excellent communication skills and the ability to influence without power. You are familiar with agile processes and willing to support others to make it real.

WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH
This role is part of the Talent Management Product Team within the HR Digital Product Portfolio. The Product Owner works closely with the Global Staffing Function as well as Regional and Local Staffing Teams, SAM IT Team, other HR Product Teams, other functions (e.g. Finance, Risk, etc), and the UX Centre of Excellence to drive design and implementation of new functionality.
