We’re looking for a People Project Manager to join our People function. This role is based in London and sits within the People Programmes, Experience and Analytics team which is responsible for helping to build a high performing people function driving an exceptional colleague experience.

We aim to apply the principles that guide our external products and offerings - transparent, convenient, fast - to our “people products” as well. This role plays an important part in achieving that goal. This role will partner across the entire People function to successfully drive high impact global projects, as well as to embed and continuously improve project delivery in the People function.

This isn’t a job for someone who wants to maintain the status quo. Instead this role would suit someone who wants to collaborate to solve problems, help build something new and work at pace.

Here’s how you’ll be contributing to the People Programmes, Experience & Analytics team:

Build and maintain close trusted partnerships across the People team to enable collaboration, delivery and success on all People projects
Project manage some of the biggest and most impactful people projects directly to ensure they are delivered successfully. Provide project management support and advice across the entire people projects portfolio where needed
Partner with a member of the People Leadership team to help them oversee and manage all the projects being led by their function
Partner across the people function to increase the project management capability of the People team through delivering and developing training, implementing project management toolkits and helping to lead a project management community of practice
Drive, embed and continuously improve the project and programme management processes and governance structures that are in place to improve project delivery within the function. Including (but not limited to) tracking and monitoring processes, project initiation processes, project board meetings
Help the people team and Leads to identify and recommend areas, where they should be focusing next in addition to helping prioritise projects

Support (where required) project change management and communications from planning through to execution to ensure alignment across project change and communication activities

About you:

You are passionate about good project management - you’ll be strongly solutions focused, able to identify problems and drive initiatives that have measurable impact. You will be able to tailor the project environments you create to the setting you are in. You will have demonstrable project management experience, and ideally a recognised project management qualification
You have a solid grounding in change management and communication - you’re great at guiding the business through change and amazing at communicating effectively and thoughtfully varying your style based on the circumstance
You are data driven - you’ll base decisions on metrics and have clear KPIs for all your plans
You have a collaborative mindset - you are excellent at working across functions, bringing structure and clarity to ambiguity and able to bring people together to achieve a common goal
You’re adaptable - you have robust knowledge of project management principles with the ability to adapt and apply them in a way that suits the environment. You have the experience and confidence to be able to adapt your approach and apply practices that will be effective in context.
You think ‘globally’ - you’re experienced supporting leaders and employees split across geographies and timezones
Creative problem solver - we are not a ‘one size fits all’ kind of business and we’re not looking for ‘off the shelf’ solutions; we need you to think creatively and be flexible in your outlook
You have experience of, or interest in, working in the ‘People’ space - you have managed People projects before, or you have a strong interest in doing so

Some extra skills that would be great:

You might have used Monday.com for project/programme/portfolio planning before
You might have had experience of working in projects with the Global Reward function of a People team
You might have a change management qualification in addition to your project/programme/portfolio management qualifications
You might have worked in a high growth, product or service led (ideally tech) company
