• Lead the creation and maintenance of a comprehensive "Playbook" for all P&C administrative procedures, ensuring consistency globally.
• Beyond just "owning audits," provide regular insights to the Head of P&C on team volume, common "bottlenecks" in the employee lifecycle, and data trends.
• Bring up new ways of working, workflows, processes, focusing on efficiency 
• Oversee the coordination of employee programs being run by the PCCs that may include training, recognition, DEI, volunteering, and wellness programs 
• Review documentation being created by PCCs; for example documentation for current and future-state people processes and workflows connected to the employee lifecycle, people data, systems and technology.
• Identify, recommend and proactively take initiative for process and workflow improvements that will allow us to scale and support our significant growth goals.
• Support global compliance efforts through close collaboration with our Legal team. 
• Provide general administrative support to the People team and take on special People projects as needed.

Even better (but not necessary) if you have:

• Strong written and oral communication skills in French
