People Strategy & Enablement Manager

Role Overview

• Establish and lead a dedicated "operational engine" for the People team, utilizing Lean Six Sigma and PMP methodologies to standardize project delivery.
• Institutionalize a rigorous prioritization framework to eliminate "initiative fatigue," ensuring global resources are focused exclusively on "Big Rock" activities with the highest ROI.
• Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of global strategic initiatives, ensuring a 100% completion rate and alignment with enterprise-wide goals.
• Maintain a "fixer" mentality, identifying at-risk projects early and pivoting resources to ensure successful delivery.
• Define and implement comprehensive change management frameworks to ensure complex transitions—including M&A integrations and new leadership models—are fully adopted rather than just launched.
• Design and execute corporate communications strategies that translate complex organizational shifts into clear, actionable narratives for a global workforce.
• Mitigate M&A risk by driving a disciplined approach to talent retention and cultural integration, protecting the human capital value of acquisitions.
• Act as the "connective tissue" between HR, Finance, Legal, and IT to ensure seamless execution of people-related technology and policy rollouts.
• Leverage indirect leadership to drive accountability across matrixed, cross-functional teams where no direct reporting line exists.
• Synthesize complex datasets (e.g., GPTW Trust Index©) into executive-level stories that influence decision-making at the ELT level.
• Build a measurable roadmap for the organization to become a world-class employer, anchored in data-backed cultural metrics.
