Job description

Job Summary

The HRIS Lead manages the day-to-day delivery of the GENyo HR Systems Harmonization program, which brings MGEN Corporate, MGEN Thermal and MGEN Renewables onto common HR processes, shared data standards and a single Darwinbox human capital management platform.

The role is the central point of coordination between HR leadership, subsidiary HR heads, process owners, Information Technology, the implementation partner and end users. It ensures that harmonization decisions are made on time, documented and formally signed off, and that each business unit moves to the new platform with clean data, tested processes and minimal disruption to employees.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and manage the end-to-end harmonization project. Build and maintain the integrated project plan, milestones, dependencies, and the risk, issue and decision logs. Track progress weekly, run project status meetings, elevate blockers early, and manage scope through a formal change control process so that milestones are delivered on time, within approved scope and with clear accountability.

• Harmonize processes and policies across business units. Facilitate design workshops with process owners from Corporate, Thermal and Renewables to map current processes, identify variations, and agree on common standards and justified local exceptions. Document approved designs in business requirements and functional specifications, and route them through the review and sign-off chain so the platform is configured on one agreed design.

• Manage stakeholders across all levels of the organization. Map and engage stakeholders from executive sponsors and department heads to process owners and frontline employees. Prepare steering committee and executive updates, facilitate decisions, resolve conflicting requirements between business units, and coordinate with Information Technology and the implementation partner to sustain alignment and timely decision-making.

• Coordinate testing, data readiness and go-live readiness. Plan and coordinate user acceptance testing, including test scenarios, tester schedules, defect triage and sign-off. Work with data owners to validate data cleansing and migration results, and prepare cutover plans and go-live readiness checklists so that each business unit transitions with accurate data and working processes.
