What You Bring

Workforce / Manpower Planning Expertise - Ability to shape, forecast, and influence talent demand.

Data‑Savvy Mindset - Comfortable interpreting insights and turning them into action.

Consultative Partnering - Strong influencing skills with senior leaders in complex environments.

Matrix Navigation - Experience working across multiple countries, functions, and reporting lines.

Strategic TA Background - Talent‑lean profile focused on strategy, not transactional recruitment.

Why This Role Matters
