What you'll be doing

As the People Solutions – Foundation Specialist, you’ll be responsible for ensuring the design, integrity, and governance of core structures within our people systems—primarily Workday. Your role will focus on key areas such as security models, job architecture, access controls, and compliance frameworks that underpin consistent and legally compliant HR operations across Europe. Reporting to the HR Solutions Manager, you’ll work closely with colleagues in HR, IT, Legal, and Data teams to ensure our system configurations are scalable, secure, and aligned with business needs. In the first few months, around half of your time will be dedicated to supporting Project Nexus, helping to shape foundational elements in our future Workday environment. You’ll lead a small team focused on position management and continuous improvement, while also owning core elements like organisational hierarchy, job structures, security access, audit controls, and legal compliance. Your collaborative approach will be key in driving improvements, ensuring data accuracy, and embedding robust processes across systems and stakeholders.
