• Build, document and maintain scalable operating procedures, playbooks and process documentation that enable consistent execution globally.
• Coordinate People Operations activities across multiple stakeholders, countries and time zones, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
• Identify manual work, operational inefficiencies and recurring issues, and propose and implement better ways of working.
• Partner closely with People Tech to improve operational workflows and prepare processes for automation, while leaving technical implementation to the People Tech team.
• Support international expansion, acquisitions and organisational changes by executing operational People processes at pace.
• Help establish operational metrics, monitor service quality and continuously raise the bar for operational excellence.
