• Coordinate closely with HR Services teams (e.g., HRIS, Talent Operations, Rewards, and other HR functions) to ensure timely follow-ups and issue resolution.
• Act as a liaison between HR PMO, Services, and global stakeholders to enable clear communication and alignment.

Reporting & Analytics

• Prepare regular status reports, dashboards, and executive-ready presentations for HR leadership and key stakeholders.
• Support data collection, validation, and analysis related to HR operations, service delivery performance, and governance outcomes.

• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and strong capability in maintaining trackers, dashboards, and reports.
• Solid understanding of HR operational processes and Services delivery models.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills with high attention to detail.
