Job Viewed
Job Description
Role Purpose (Why do we need this role?)
This role owns how the People Lifecycle works end-to-end, designs simpler and future-ready People processes, and embeds performance discipline so people outcomes, employee experience, and cost-to-serve improve sustainably. Scope covers the entire employee lifecycle, including but not limited: workforce planning, talent acquisition, onboarding, core lifecycle activities, payroll, rewards, benefits, talent development, talent management, and offboarding. The role partners with People (HR), Finance, and business leaders to improve how decisions are made and executed across the people lifecycle.
Role Accountabilities (What is this role responsible for delivering?)
Governance, Policy and Compliance
- Ensure people lifecycle processes are designed with controls that meet policy intent, regulatory requirements, and audit standards. Policy ownership stays with the People team; this role ensures processes comply with it.
- Define and maintain control points, decision rules, and exception pathways that reduce compliance risk and protect employee experience.
- Support regular risk and controls testing, ensuring audit-readiness is built into how work is done rather than assembled retrospectively.
- Lead audit processes on behalf of People division and provide recommendations during audit
People Process Excellence and Continuous Improvement
- Own the domain improvement roadmap, translating business priorities into sequenced outcomes, deliverables, and measurable benefits.
- Lead future-back process design across the people lifecycle, including control points, handovers, data requirements, and success criteria across the People division, business units, and shared services.
- Define and maintain key decision objects and operating rules so teams execute consistently. Examples include: workforce planning cadence, recruitment approvals, onboarding milestones, probation reviews, performance cycle governance, learning prioritisation, query routing, and offboarding protocols.
- Prioritise improvements that strengthen employee experience and People division efficiency, removing avoidable handovers, rework, and failure demand.
- Clarify work boundaries between business units, People centres of expertise, and Shared Services (Swire Digital Centre SDC), including triage rules, exception routing, and stabilisation plans, and embed changes into BAU through controls, training, and performance routines.
- Enable cross-functional alignment and consistent execution across People teams and geographies.
People Systems and Digital Enablement
- Drive data governance and process readiness for digital workflows across the people lifecycle, including HRIS self-service, automated approvals, and learning management systems.
- Partner with Technology and HRIS teams to shape implementable workflow enhancements that improve visibility and reduce manual handling.
- Ensure exception handling, fallbacks, and control points are clearly defined as digital adoption shifts how work is done, and keep work boundaries between business units, HR centres of expertise, and SDC current.
- Drive adoption of new systems and workflows through change management, training, and communication.
Support to People Leadership in Strategic Project Delivery
- Support the CPO and HR leadership on strategic People initiatives, such as organisation design, HRIS implementations, or major operating model changes, providing structured delivery and embedment support that brings process design discipline and change management rigour alongside PMO capability.
- Translate People strategy into clear improvement roadmaps, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
- Monitor progress of key People initiatives, providing regular updates, insights, and risk assessments to support informed decision-making.
- Maintain a clear evidence base on initiative progress, benefits realisation, and emerging risks to support prioritisation decisions.
Data-Driven Performance Governance
- Establish the KPIs, dashboards, and routines that enable teams to manage people lifecycle outcomes rather than simply report them. Examples include: time-to-fill, onboarding completion, payroll accuracy, training completion, eNPS, attrition, and HR service ticket resolution.
- Partner with analytics functions to turn people and operational signals into prioritised improvement hypotheses.
- Drive cross-functional closure on performance issues that span owners, ensuring signals translate into accountable action.
Process Mapping and Documentation Service Model
- Own design intent and decision logic for the domain, ensuring artefacts accurately reflect approved designs and are usable for adoption, training, and operational control.
- Develop and maintain standards, playbooks, and toolkits that enable consistent HR execution across teams and geographies.
- Direct SDC Process Improvement Services to produce standardised artefacts, including process maps, SOPs, work instructions, and training packs, and hold that service to quality and currency expectations.
- Prioritise documentation through the governance cadence so artefacts remain current and do not become an administrative exercise.
Resource Direction and Capability Building
- Mobilise and direct resources effectively, setting clear expectations and ensuring work is executed with the required rigour and quality.
- Build continuous improvement capability in supported teams through structured problem solving, coaching, and on-the-job learning, reducing dependency on the centre over time.
- Promote a culture of excellence, accountability, and data-driven decision-making across the People division and the broader improvement function.
Key Qualifications & Skills (What knowledge will ensure success in the role?)

- Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, Psychology, Organisational Development, or a related discipline; postgraduate qualification is an advantage.
- Lean Six Sigma certification preferred (Green Belt minimum; Black Belt an advantage).

- Performance governance discipline: able to define KPIs, dashboards, and routines that convert signals into actions, closure, and sustained BAU outcomes.
- Strong analytical capability: able to diagnose root causes using operational and people data, quantify impact, and prioritise interventions.

- Support pilots and stabilisation routines for changes that affect multiple teams or locations, and ensure BAU embedment through clear controls, training, and performance routines.
Performance Governance and Benefits
- Define the KPIs, dashboards, and performance routines needed to run the domain with discipline, turning signals into actions and closure (for example: cycle time, backlog, exceptions, rework, cost drivers, customer feedback, digital adoption).
- Set clear measures and leading indicators, and track benefits with an evidence base that supports prioritisation, trade-offs, and decision-making.
