Responsibilities

About the role

Reporting to the Head of People & Performance and acting as a member of the People & Performance Leadership Team, this newly created role will be responsible for ensuring a high quality people experience throughout all stages of the lifecycle. The ongoing transformation of People & Performance services, lead by this person, will be heavily digitally enabled, yielding and informed by data, and consistently producing a world class people experience for all. 

Strategy & transformation roadmap

• Own the global strategy for all aspects of the people lifecycle.
• Define and execute a 2–3 year transformation roadmap for the in-scope lifecycle phases, integrating people, process and technology into a single sequenced plan.

Lifecycle design

• Oversee the candidate-to-joiner journey end-to-end — sourcing, assessment, offer, pre-boarding, Day-1 experience and the 90-day onboarding framework.
• Oversee the exit and alumni framework — consistent global standards (with local variations) for resignations, redundancies, retirements and dismissals; alumni and rehire programme; exit interviews and the feedback loop back into the business.

Execution & delivery management

• Oversee the global onboarding engine — operational delivery of requisitions, sourcing, screening, offers, background checks, contracts, IT provisioning and Day-1 logistics.
• Oversee the global exit and transitions engine — operational delivery of all leaver processes, system offboarding, final pay coordination, reference letters, internal transfers and mobility moves to defined SLAs.
• Accountable for candidate, joiner and leaver experience — including sensitive senior hires and exits with the Chief People & Performance Officer and business leaders.

Technology, AI & data

• Drive system adoption (Oracle Fusion and adjacent tooling) across recruiting, onboarding and offboarding — eliminating off-system workarounds and bringing process and data integrity to a defined standard.
• Partner with IT, Finance and People Analytics to standardise data fields across the in-scope lifecycle so that clean data powers predictive insight on talent supply, funnel health, attrition and joiner outcomes.
• Drive the digital and AI agenda for in-scope processes — define which tasks are human-led, AI-augmented or fully automated, and sequence the move from current state to target state.

Service performance & continuous improvement

• Set SLAs and quality standards across all in-scope processes; report on cycle time, cost-per-hire, time-to-fill, joiner/leaver sentiment and other lifecycle metrics.
• Own the continuous-improvement backlog for the lifecycle phases in scope, applying structured process-improvement disciplines (LEAN / Six Sigma) where appropriate.

Change, adoption & compliance

• Own change management and adoption for everything this function rolls out — new frameworks, tooling and standards — ensuring high and effective adoption across diverse, multi-cultural teams and protecting employee experience during transitions.
• Ensure compliance with employment law, data protection and regulatory requirements across all in-scope processes in every Citco location.
• Govern third-party vendors with explicit commercial accountability, rigorous SLAs and business-value metrics.

People & Performance leadership

• Contribute to People & Performance strategy at P&PLT.

Qualifications

About you:

• 10+ years senior leadership spanning strategy, operations and transformation
• Previous HR Experience is preferred but not essential
• Proven delivery of complex, multi-year transformation roadmaps at global scale
• Experience running high-volume, SLA-driven operational functions
• Strong technology, AI and data agenda experience
• Strong change management and adoption capability
• Commercially minded with bias for measurable outcomes
• Collaborative across IT, Finance, Legal and business stakeholders
