Job description

Описание:

Be part of a movement to change the way Europe pays. In today’s digital Europe, payments still feel too complicated. Random delays, confusing rules, extra apps and accounts make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid. The European Payments Initiative is changing that with Wero, a proudly European digital wallet to make payments easier, clearer and more secure. Online, in store, at home and across borders, with your money and data protected under European laws and regulations. Wero is live in Belgium, France and Germany and launching very soon in Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Backed by 16 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, we’re building a brand new, proudly European payment system. Why not join us?

Задачи:

As the HR Project Manager, you’ll act as a trusted partner to the Chief People Officer, helping turn HR strategy into execution. Sitting at the center of the HR function, you’ll bring structure, visibility and purpose to the initiatives that shape how we operate, scale and support the business. Become the conductor of the HR roadmap, translating strategy into actionable plans, create structure ensuring the right priorities receive the right level of attention, and keeping critical initiatives moving forward. Act as a strategic partner to the CHRO, providing visibility on priorities, risks, dependencies, budgets and delivery status across the HR function. Own and elevate our HR project management methodology, continuously improving the way we plan, govern, track and deliver projects, care about details while embedding a culture of accountability and operational excellence. Own the HR budget framework, maintaining a clear view of spend, commitments and personnel costs, and helping HR leadership make informed decisions through reliable data and forecasting; drive consensus about competing priorities and build trusted relationships across different departments. Lead high-impact and strategic projects, from HR technology deployments and process redesign to cross-functional initiatives that improve the employee experience and support EPI's growth; prepare the organization for process and system change, delivery communications and training plans and support the adoption of new ways of working. Drive innovation within HR, exploring how AI can simplify processes, improve decision-making and help us work smarter. This role offers a unique opportunity to combine strategy, project management, operational excellence, innovation and business partnering while having a direct impact on how HR and the wider company evolve.

We operate in a highly regulated industry, which means rigor and structure matter. But that doesn’t mean everything is set in stone. There is still plenty of room to experiment, challenge the way we work and introduce better tools and practices. Our HR team is curious and enthusiastic about opening new topics and trying new approaches. You’ll work transversally with every part of People and directly with our Chief People Officer, giving you broad exposure to the function and a real opportunity to shape how we work as we continue to grow and mature.

You’ll join a team of 16 international HR experts spread across Europe, each bringing their own expertise and perspective. We’re still flying the plane while building parts of it, so expect the occasional bumpy ride. The good news? The crew is cheerful, supportive and always ready to help, so you’ll be in safe hands.
