<title>About the role</title>
<text>
Reporting to the Head of Regional People Partnering and Workplace Experience, this role leads a multi-disciplinary team—including Regional People Partners (and, where applicable, People Advisors), as well as Workplace Experience Managers and/or Specialists—ensuring coordinated, consistent execution of strategic and operational priorities at the country level.
This role focuses on steering and enabling these teams to deliver outcomes, rather than handling all activities directly. By acting as the bridge between strategic direction and on-the-ground execution, the Manager ensures that people programs and workplace services are effectively delivered, culturally aligned, and continuously improved.
