The Role

We’re working with a prestigious global law firm to find a seasoned HRIS Project Manager to lead the delivery of a new cloud-based HR platform. This is a key role within a central PMO team, working in partnership with senior HR and business stakeholders across international offices.

• Partnering with stakeholders to deliver change across Core HR, Payroll, Performance, Compensation, and Benefits


• Driving governance, comms, vendor relationships, and change management
