About the role

We are looking for a People Process Optimisation & Enablement Specialist to join BSI’s People team.

This role will play a key part in shaping how People services are delivered across a complex, global organisation. Working closely with People Operations, HR Centres of Excellence, and HRIS/IT teams, you will lead the review, redesign, and optimisation of end-to-end People processes to improve efficiency, simplify ways of working, and strengthen accountability across the People function.

You will help translate operational and business requirements into scalable, compliant, and system-enabled solutions, balancing global consistency with local regulatory needs. The role combines process improvement, stakeholder engagement, operational design, and change enablement to help create a more effective and employee-centric People operating model.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong HR operations or HR transformation experience who enjoys improving processes, influencing stakeholders, and driving sustainable operational change.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate existing People processes to identify inefficiencies, operational risks, and opportunities for simplification, standardisation, and automation.
• Lead the redesign and optimisation of end-to-end People processes across the employee lifecycle.
• Partner with HRIS and IT teams to translate business requirements into scalable system-enabled solutions.
• Support the reduction of manual processes and improve operational efficiency through automation and improved workflows.
• Create and maintain clear process documentation, guidance materials, governance frameworks, and operating procedures.
• Drive adoption of new or improved processes through stakeholder engagement, communications, training, and change management activities.
• Collaborate across People Operations, HR Centres of Excellence, and business stakeholders to ensure processes support operational delivery and employee experience goals.
• Establish clear process ownership, accountability, and escalation pathways across the People operating model.
• Use service metrics, operational data, and employee feedback to identify improvement opportunities and measure process effectiveness.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen service delivery, compliance, and operational scalability across the People function.

What we’re looking for

Essential

• 5+ years of experience within HR operations, People process optimisation, HR transformation, or HR enablement roles.
• Experience leading end-to-end process redesign or operational improvement initiatives across HR functional areas.
• Strong understanding of HR operating models, including shared services, Centres of Excellence, and regional delivery structures.
• Experience partnering with HRIS or Digital teams to implement system-enabled process improvements (Workday or similar platforms preferred).
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills within complex, matrix organisations.
• Experience balancing global standardisation with local legal and operational requirements.
• Analytical and data-driven mindset with experience using metrics and feedback to improve operational performance.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to create clear documentation and present recommendations effectively.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced and evolving environment.
  

Highly desirable

• Experience supporting HR transformation or operating model change programmes.
• Knowledge of process improvement methodologies such as Lean or Six Sigma.
