• To ensure that there is effective oversight of the programme deliverables and to engage with team members so that they are aware of relevant communications sent from the programme team and to ensure that they meet all deliverables in a timely manner.
• Act as local project manager, tracking deliverables and deadlines and ensuring delivery from members of HR team.
• The role may also involve creation of documentation including process maps, how to guides and communications for HR teams, managers, and colleagues.

Experience of delivering training is desirable but essentially you must have advanced Excel skills including VLOOKUPS, formulae, and pivot tables. You will have experience in process mapping and writing user documentation. Ideally you will have worked in a multinational organisation although this is not essential.

The role offers hybrid working and can be PAYE or LTD company. Candidates must essentially live within a reasonable commute of Runcorn.
