HR Project Manager bij Action

Action continues with its amazing expansion plans. We are already active in 13 countries and we have strong plans to boost our international presence. We have a firm commitment to provide our organisation with the best HR systems, tools, and processes that support our employees and managers. As a result, we are looking for an experienced HR project manager who will take on multiple HR projects.

We have established a solid roadmap for the next years containing several HR focus areas. For every focus area, a number of HR initiatives have been defined ranging from HR technology projects to data privacy awareness and our Action Sustainability Program.

This is your daily Action

You will be a member of the HR Project Managers team in our International Head Quarters. The main focus will be on managing international projects and their deliverables. Together with multi-functional teams you ensure a smooth and efficient execution of projects within the agreed timeline and budget. Next to that you have a strong internal customer focus and are willing to go the extra mile to deliver on your projects.

As an HR Project Manager you play a key role in implementation, communication, and change management. You will ensure accurate information and project data is securely retained and maintained. Within the role you will be dealing with strategic stakeholders from different domains and all levels within the organisation.

The focus will be on HR technology related projects and the Retail Recruitment Project (Optimize store recruitment process and tool).
