This role is built for a sharp, T-shaped strategist who feels at home in both conceptual thinking and hands on delivery. You help shape and refine the HR strategy throughout the year and turn key themes into concrete analyses, products and short cycle strategic projects that accelerate progress.

You will work on strategic questions that matter and turn them into concrete outcomes. You run projects, build clear analyses, develop products or frameworks, and support HR leaders with structured decision inputs. You make abstract topics tangible, bring clarity to complex issues and help different teams move from strategy to action.
Key responsibilities:
- Conduct strategic analyses and translate insights into clear recommendations for HR leadership
- Run strategic projects and deliver concrete products, frameworks or decision papers
- Turn strategic themes into tangible deliverables such as proposals, roadmaps, prototypes or storylines

- Support execution of cross country and cross BU HR initiatives, ensuring clarity on scope, milestones and expected outcomes
- Bring structure and an external perspective to annual and mid-year HR strategy discussions
