Key Responsibilities Technical-Functional Automation Design • Convert GPSS challenges into simplified, automation-ready workflows, requirements, rules, triggers, controls, and exceptions. • Recommend process simplification, ServiceNow, Workday, Power Automate, UiPath, Copilot Studio, Power BI, or a hybrid approach. • Design end-to-end workflows i.e. define how tasks, data, approvals, notifications, and system handoffs operate across platforms. • Validate feasibility by confirming integration, security, delivery, and support needs with relevant teams. AI-Ready Process and Solutioning • Create AI-ready process guides to define intents, utterances, decision logic, data, knowledge, escalation rules, human review points, controls, and test scenarios. • Prepare build-ready handoffs including converting process maps and SOPs into user stories, acceptance criteria, business rules, test cases, and solution packs. • Set AI guardrails to address privacy, policy interpretation, payroll risk, audit exposure, sensitive data, and high-impact exceptions. • Standardise reusable assets such as maintaining AI-ready knowledge, templates, integration checklists, UAT packs, benefit trackers, and readiness reviews. Delivery Excellence • Provide technical functional support across priority recruit-to-retire processes, from recruitment and onboarding to staff movements and offboarding. • Improve requirements clarity, pilot readiness, UAT, and benefit realization for Wave 1 initiatives. • Identify technical complexity, data gaps, compliance needs, system dependencies, and integration risks early. • Track decisions, dependencies, blockers, ownership, testing, sustainment, and benefits through delivery. Workflow, Data Readiness • Specify data fields, source systems, owners, validation rules, triggers, handoffs, reporting needs, and exceptions. • Design event-driven flows e.g. Map workflows triggered by hire, status, approval, location, leave, movement, termination, or document events. • Identify API, file, RPA, orchestration, access, and vendor portal dependencies. • Define standards for reliability, data accuracy, auditability, exception handling, reporting, and operational handover. Technical UAT, Pilot and Deployment Support • Develop UAT scripts, edge cases, test data, defect logs, readiness checklists, and hypercare trackers. • Confirm performance against requirements, SLAs, data standards, controls, and employee experience objectives. • Coordinate pilot input and translate it into fixes, enhancements, or process changes. • Support go-live and sustainment by enabling stabilisation, operational handover, support ownership, success tracking, and post-implementation improvement. Stakeholder Partnership and Technical Facilitation • Lead project teams and manage PO, GPSS, IT, platform, vendor, data, and compliance stakeholders, positioning PROX as the enablement bridge for GPSS priorities. • Lead discovery and design sessions, document outcomes, and escalate blockers early. • Prepare concise recommendations, decision papers, and readiness updates for leadership. • Coach team members on automation documentation, AI-ready design, UAT, handoff quality, and follow-through. Skills and Experience • Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, Operations, Technology, Analytics, Information Systems, or related discipline. • Typically over 15 years of global or regional experience supporting HR services, transformation, or technology-enabled process improvement across multiple countries, sites, or stakeholder groups, with proven stakeholder management skills and experience leading project teams or cross-functional initiatives through hands-on solution delivery. • Strong knowledge of hire-to-retire processes and practical experience with Workday, ServiceNow HRSD, M365, SharePoint, Teams, or comparable enterprise platforms. • Hands-on ability to design, configure, test, and support Power Automate cloud and desktop flows, UiPath RPA, forms, approvals, triggers, exception handling, and process or task mining. • Ability to design Copilot Studio, UiPath, or similar agents by defining goals, instructions, prompts, knowledge sources, tools, actions, orchestration, context, escalation paths, and human approval points. • Experience grounding and evaluating age…
