Project Manager, Hard

What you will enjoy doing

As Project Manager - Global HR Software Rollout, you plan, steer, and successfully deliver the rollout of a global HR software solution – from initial alignment through go‑live.
You ensure the solution supports our business objectives, is implemented consistently across all regions, and meets the needs of all key stakeholders (employees, managers, IT, HR, specialist functions, and senior leadership).

You lead our strategic project “UNITE”, guiding it from its current phase through to successful global implementation. Together with an expert team you own the end‑to‑end scope across the entire employee life cycle, including master and organizational data, interfaces, compliance and legal requirements, recruiting, learning & development, talent management, as well as onboarding and offboarding. You coordinate across regions, implementation partners, and software vendors, ensuring clear communication and full transparency at all times. You lead an international project team, define clear roles and responsibilities, and foster strong cross‑border collaboration. You track progress, budget, and milestones and provide regular, structured updates to senior leadership. You ensure smooth integration with existing systems and actively drive the harmonization of global HR processes. You take ownership of change management and communication, including the design and delivery of training concepts, to ensure a successful go‑live for end users and HR teams.
