We’re looking for a People Project Adviser with project management experience to join our growing People function.

We want to bring to life the principles by which we drive our external product and offerings - transparent, convenient, fast and eventually free - to our “people products” too; and this role is critical in helping us to do that. This role will partner with stakeholders from across the People function and wider Wise organisation to successfully drive high impact projects, as well as to embed and continuously improve project delivery practices in the People function.
This isn’t a job for someone who wants to maintain the status quo. Instead this role would suit someone who wants to collaborate to solve problems, help build something new and work at pace. It’s also a unique opportunity to have an impact on Wise’s mission and support our employees through their Wise journey.

Including (but not limited to) tracking and monitoring processes, project initiation processes, project board meetings
Provide project management support and advice to others across the people projects portfolio
Build and maintain close trusted partnerships across the People team to enable collaboration, delivery and success on projects
Help the people team and Leads to identify and recommend areas where they should be focusing next, in addition to helping prioritise projects
Hold the People Team and their stakeholders to account when it comes to projects, their planning and deliverables, making sure we remain on track as a function
This role will give you the opportunity to:
Develop as part of a new team - the People Programmes, Experience & Analytics team is a relatively new team that has the privilege of working across the entire People function on high impact projects; you will be an integral part of the teams’ formation and have lots of opportunity to input into how it evolves.

You think globally - you’ve worked in teams split across geographies and timezones and understand how to effectively manage projects in this context
