• Actively contribute to streamlining, standardizing, and harmonizing HR processes and systems across the global HR landscape to enable an integrated and efficient digital HR ecosystem.
• Take ownership of sub-projects design, configuration, and operational implementation of SAP SuccessFactors Talent Modules (Performance & Goals, Learning, Succession, Recruiting).

• Experience in both consulting and/or corporate environments is highly valued.
• Hands-on experience with data migration activities (e.g., data cleansing, transformation, and import) is a strong advantage.
• Proven ability to take ownership of deliverables and drive sub-projects end-to-end with minimal supervision.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to effectively collaborate across HR, IT, and business leadership.
• Fluent English skills are mandatory; German is a plus.
