Overview

Project Manager, HR Enterprise Enablement and Governance

Location: London

Business Area: Human Resources

Ref #: 10048922

Description

The energy of a newsroom, the pace of a trading floor, the buzz of a recent tech breakthrough — we work hard, and we work fast, while keeping up the quality and accuracy we’re known for. It’s what keeps us inventing and reinventing. Our culture is open, collaborative, and focused on elevating one another. Here, you can do incredible work — the kind of work that has a real impact across the company. It’s up to you to make it happen.

The Team

The newly established HR Enterprise Enablement and Governance Team sits at the center of the HR Enterprise organization, connecting the dots across Global People Services, Employee Relations, Benefits, Position Management, and Immigration. We partner closely with HR Technology, Centers of Excellence and HR teams to strengthen alignment, create clear ownership for cross-functional priorities, and elevate operational excellence across HR.

We are the hub that drives shared strategies, consistent execution, and visibility across enterprise-wide initiatives. Our remit spans project management, operational governance, data and insights, and policy/process governance. This team brings together work that touches all areas of HR — ensuring we deliver greater consistency, transparency, and effectiveness for both employees and HR stakeholders.

What’s the role?

We’re looking for an experienced HR Project Manager who thrives in complex, fast-moving environments and is energized by building structure where it doesn’t yet exist. In this role, you will lead cross-functional HR initiatives that improve operational effectiveness, enhance employee experience, and advance the strategic priorities of the HR Enterprise organization.

You will operate as a central connector — planning, coordinating, and governing multi-team projects while fostering accountability and clarity across stakeholders who do not report directly to you. This role requires strong judgement, comfort navigating ambiguity, and the ability to translate strategy into execution across multiple HR disciplines.

You’ll trust you to

• Drive planning, execution, and governance for initiatives that span multiple HR functions, including enterprise process improvements, cyclical programs, system enhancements, and policy-related operational work

• Coordinate across GPS, Employee Relations, Benefits, Position Management, Immigration, HR Tech, and CoEs to ensure alignment, clear decision making and shared ownership

• Define project scope, goals, timelines, and deliverables in partnership with HR leaders and subject-matter experts

• Develop detailed project plans and ensure resources are allocated in line with priorities

• Support change-management and communication efforts to ensure smooth adoption of new processes, tools, and ways of working

• Analyze outcomes and key metrics to evaluate effectiveness and identify opportunities to streamline or scale

• Champion operational excellence by modeling consistent, repeatable project methodologies

You’ll need to have

• 8+ years of project management experience, with demonstrated success leading enterprise-wide or cross-functional initiatives

• Project management practitioner certification (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, Agile/Scrum Master) or equivalent practical experience

• Strong communication, facilitation, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to influence without authority and navigate competing priorities

• Proven analytical and quantitative capabilities — using data to inform decisions, evaluate outcomes, and support recommendations

• Experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams across technical and business teams

• Comfort operating with autonomy, managing ambiguity, and adapting to shifting priorities

• Excellent organizational skills and sharp attention to detail

• A problem-solver’s mindset and a drive for clarity, efficiency, and continuous improvement

We’d love to see:

• Knowledge of HR processes, systems, or employee experience programs

• Experience working with or coordinating across centers of excellence and HR operations groups

• Familiarity with large-scale technical implementations or HR technology ecosystems

• Proficiency with project management methodologies and tools (e.g., Smartsheet, MS Project, Jira, Asana)

• A flexible, calm, and positive presence under pressure

• Ability to quickly understand stakeholder needs and organizational context
