At MHR, our employees are central to our success and play a key role in helping customers achieve sustainable high performance. With a team of over 900 professionals, we work to make things flow smoothly, whether it's for large organisations or individual employees. As businesses face rapid changes in the world of work, our team is here to help them adapt and thrive. By focusing on the core needs of efficiency, productivity, growth, and impact, our employees use their expertise to deliver real solutions through our People and Finance platform. This system, which covers finance, HR, payroll, and learning, helps businesses run more smoothly and make better decisions in real time.

With over 40 years of experience behind us, MHR’s track record as a high‑performance organisation is built on clear goals, a shared vision, and strong communication – all of which we pass on to our customers. MHR is more than just a place to work; it’s a platform for empowerment. Joining us means bringing innovation, technology, and teamwork seamlessly removes obstacles, enhances your skills, and allows you to focus on what’s most important to you‑ work that matters. With us, you’ll grow, find your flow, and make a lasting difference in your career, your team, and your impact.

You’ll join a strategic, forward‑thinking team focused on redefining how organisations approach workforce transformation. Working closely with Sales, Pre‑Sales, Product, Professional Services, Analytics and AI leaders, you’ll help position MHR as a trusted strategic partner to CHROs, HRDs and People Leaders. Together, the team shapes high‑impact executive conversations around HCM modernisation, workforce strategy, employee experience and organisational design. Collaboration is central to the role, with a strong focus on curiosity, innovation and creating compelling transformation narratives powered by People First, AI, analytics and automation capabilities.

This role offers the opportunity to operate at a highly strategic level, engaging directly with senior HR and business leaders on complex workforce transformation challenges. You’ll build expertise across HCM operating model design, workforce planning, talent transformation, analytics and AI‑enabled workforce insight, while developing executive advisory and commercial influencing skills. From leading CHRO discovery workshops to shaping transformation roadmaps and executive business cases, you’ll play a key role in early‑stage strategic engagements that accelerate deal velocity and strengthen customer confidence. You’ll also contribute to the evolution of reusable frameworks, methodologies and thought leadership that will shape MHR’s future go‑to‑market approach.

Your work will help organisations move from fragmented, transactional HR and payroll environments to integrated, insight‑driven operating models that improve workforce productivity, employee experience, compliance and strategic decision‑making. By translating complex workforce challenges into clear, outcome‑focused transformation pathways, you’ll elevate executive conversations and help customers understand the measurable value of modern HCM solutions. Through strategic workshops, value frameworks and compelling storytelling, you’ll influence how organisations think about people transformation while enabling MHR to strengthen its position as a leader in People First workforce innovation.
