About this Role

We are seeking a business transformation and HR portfolio professional to connect enterprise transformation priorities with practical people-change delivery and disciplined portfolio governance.

Based in India or Egypt, the role will divide its focus equally between business transformation and people change, and HR portfolio and leadership enablement. You will help turn the Horizon 2 strategy into a clear narrative, targeted colleague journeys, practical capability-building activities and sustainable changes in everyday decisions and ways of working.

Working across transformation teams, HR Business Partners, Centres of Expertise, HR Services and senior leadership forums, you will maintain an integrated view of priorities, risks, dependencies, decisions and outcomes. The role has no direct or dotted-line reports and requires effective influence across a global, matrixed organisation.

Who you are

You have significant experience in business transformation, people change, portfolio management or strategy execution within a global, matrixed organisation. You have designed and delivered people-change plans supporting large-scale business transformation. You bring practical programme and portfolio management capabilities, including planning, governance, risk management, reporting, dependency management and delivery tracking. You can coordinate multiple programmes, workstreams and stakeholders to deliver measurable business and people outcomes. You communicate complex strategies through clear narratives, presentations, leadership materials and audience-specific messages. You can engage and influence senior stakeholders across HR, transformation, operational and business teams without relying on formal authority. You understand how people change supports customer outcomes, commercial performance and value creation. You use KPIs, surveys, colleague insights and business measures to evaluate adoption and impact. You create simple, repeatable and scalable working practices while maintaining sound judgement and attention to detail. You are confident using digital tools, AI and automation, and can adapt effectively in an evolving environment. You hold a relevant degree or have equivalent professional experience. A recognised change, programme or project-management qualification would be advantageous.

What's in it for you

The opportunity to work at the intersection of enterprise transformation, people change and HR portfolio governance. Exposure to senior leaders and cross-functional stakeholders across HR, transformation, technology, commercial and operational teams.

The ability to establish governance, portfolio standards and repeatable practices that improve decision-making and delivery across a complex international organisation. Opportunities to use colleague insights, surveys, KPIs and the VOIS Scorecard to demonstrate measurable transformation outcomes.

What skills you will learn

Enterprise people-change planning across multiple transformation workstreams. Persona-led change-journey design and behaviour-change activation. Executive storytelling and the preparation of decision-ready leadership materials. HR portfolio governance, integrated planning and operating-rhythm design. Change adoption measurement using surveys, KPIs, colleague insights and scorecards. Cross-functional stakeholder influence within a global, matrixed organisation.
