Manage each vendor from intake through onboarding completion, coordinating with stakeholders including sourcing, due diligence, risk and controls, privacy, technology, contracting, legal, and HR Leads.
Establish and manage the critical path for each vendor, including owners, deliverables, decision dates, dependencies, and completion criteria.
Identify delivery risks early and maintain contingency, remediation, and escalation plans for engagements at risk of missing Project Armstrong milestones.
Establish and maintain the inventory of HR vendors and engagements identified through Phase 2, confirming scope, priority, ownership, and required onboarding route.
Complete early intake and dependency assessment for timely vendor selection and onboarding.
Sequence Phase 2 onboarding activity against delivery milestones, process capacity, technology dependencies, and other Project Armstrong commitments.
Translate requirements into workplans and submission packs for HR workstream owners and vendors.
Provide transparent reporting on Phase 2 pipeline status, upcoming decisions, constraints, risks, and required interventions.
Act as the HR lead and central point of coordination for Project Armstrong vendor onboarding, bringing together all relevant stakeholders.
Represent CoEs with stakeholders, explaining requirements and coordinating resolution of due diligence, commercial, contractual, and implementation issues.
Facilitate working sessions to resolve unclear requirements, ownership gaps, and competing interpretations, documenting decisions and actions.
Escalate blockers, overdue decisions, and material risks promptly with clear impacts, options, and recommended actions.
Maintain momentum across multiple concurrent engagements while ensuring Project Armstrong delivery decisions are governed and evidenced.
Identify where enterprise third-party processes create ambiguity, duplication, or delay for HR engagements in EMEA and APAC.
Work with process owners to clarify requirements and shape proportionate routes reflecting service, data, risk, delivery model, and geography.
Bring an informed HR perspective to process discussions, including nuances of benefits, insurance, payroll, recruitment, learning, employee relations, wellbeing, HR technology, and professional advisory services.
Develop practical playbooks, checklists, templates, and minimum evidence standards to improve consistency and execution while preserving controls and approvals.
Capture lessons learned from Project Armstrong and Phase 2 and convert them into improvements for future regional HR vendor engagements.

Requirements

Significant experience leading complex vendor onboarding, third-party engagement, or procurement delivery in a regulated, matrixed environment.
Demonstrable ability to manage multiple vendor engagements against a fixed operational readiness date, including critical-path planning, dependency management, and senior-level escalation.
Strong working knowledge of the vendor lifecycle, including intake, sourcing, due diligence, risk assessment, privacy, information security, technology, contracting, approvals, and implementation readiness.
Ability to understand the practical nuances of HR engagements and translate enterprise requirements into clear actions for workstream owners and vendors.
Proven ability to challenge and improve processes constructively, applying a pragmatic and proportionate approach without compromising control expectations.
Experience working across EMEA and/or APAC, with an appreciation of regional and country-specific legal, regulatory, data, and operating-model considerations.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear submissions, decision papers, status reporting, and executive updates.
Execution-focused and accountable, with the determination to move complex engagements from ambiguity to completion.
Pragmatic and risk-aware, able to distinguish essential controls from avoidable process friction and propose proportionate solutions.
Highly organised, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple vendors, workstreams, deadlines, and dependencies concurrently.
Confident and credible with senior stakeholders, process owners, and external vendors, including when challenging delays or escalating risk.
Collaborative and relationship-oriented, while maintaining clear ownership, pace, and delivery discipline.
Comfortable operating across cultures, time zones, and functions in a fast-moving EMEA and APAC environment.
Curious and improvement-minded, with enthusiasm for data, technology, automation, and clear process design.
