Action continues with its amazing expansion plans. We are already active in 12 countries and we have strong plans to boost our international presence. We have a firm commitment to provide our organisation with the best HR systems, tools, and processes that support our employees and managers. As a result, we are looking for an experienced HR project manager who will take on multiple HR projects.

We have established a solid roadmap for the next years containing several HR focus areas. For every focus area, a number of HR initiatives have been defined ranging from HR technology projects to data privacy awareness.

This is your daily Action

As an HR Project Manager you play a key role in implementation, communication, and change management. You will ensure accurate information and project data is securely retained and maintained. Within the role you will be dealing with strategic stakeholders from different domains/countries and all levels within the organisation.

The focus will be on HR technology related projects and e.g. the Voice of Action (employee egangement survey).
