- Drive the design and implementation of JIRA Service Management and Confluence platforms, including custom case workflows, SLA frameworks, automated dashboards, and a centralised HR knowledge base.
- Develop and execute stakeholder engagement and change management strategies, running discovery workshops, co-designing solutions with operational teams, and leading structured communications and training programs.
- Build and maintain the HR service catalogue and service ownership matrix, defining clear accountability and escalation pathways across HR Shared Services, Payroll, and HR Systems.

- Expertise in change management and stakeholder engagement, including the ability to influence, negotiate, and build trust with diverse groups across all levels of an organisation.
