Job description

Our client is a global organisation headquartered in Amsterdam, with 27,000 employees in over 30 countries. Its largest regions are North America, the UK and Central Europe. The business is reshaping how it is organised, and the People function is being rebuilt alongside it.

The opportunity

You will build the company's first HR Technology function and unify Oracle HCM across the entire business.

Oracle HCM is in place globally, but it is used in a fragmented way. Countries and HR functions work in silos, several markets still rely on local systems, and there is little shared governance. Around it sits a large stack of further HR tools that has grown over time.

The goal is to harmonise how Oracle HCM is used worldwide, get far more value from the investment already made, and retire the tools the business no longer needs. The company wants this done steadily and pragmatically, without adding complexity for the business.

What you will do

• Assess where HR technology stands today across regions and HR functions, and define where it needs to be
• Build a global HR technology roadmap, starting with a small core project team and widening to more stakeholders as the plan firms up
• Lead the programme to harmonise and re-implement Oracle HCM globally, so it is used consistently across countries
• Work closely with HR Operations and the business process owners to optimise global processes first, then build them into the system
• Bring HR technology knowledge that sits in separate Centres of Excellence and countries into one function
• Set up governance: ownership, standards, decision rights and a clear way of prioritising change
• Review the wider HR tech stack and lead the decommissioning of tools that duplicate what Oracle HCM can do
• Select and manage third-party implementation partners and external consultants
• Recruit and lead a small team of Oracle HCM product owners
• Act as the main HR technology partner to Talent, HR Operations, HR Business Partners, Rewards and Analytics.

What you bring

• Senior HR technology leadership in a large, multi-country organisation
• Hands-on experience of Oracle HCM Cloud, ideally through a global implementation, re-implementation or harmonisation
• A strong programme and project management background, with a track record of delivering global HRIS change
• Experience building an HR technology team or function from a low starting point
• A consulting-style approach: able to diagnose, structure the work, and bring people with you
• Credibility with senior HR and business stakeholders across regions and cultures
• Experience of HR tech governance, system rationalisation and managing implementation partners
• Fluent English; Dutch a bonus

Why this role

• A greenfield function: you set the structure, the roadmap and the team
• Direct line into the People leadership team, one step from the CHRO
• A global Oracle HCM programme with real scale and a clear mandate to fix it
• A business that wants a measured, practical approach, not change for its own sake
