Pinpoint Asia Hiring! Full Time Project Manager – Learning (HR Transformation) - J13011 in Federal Territory - Ricebowl

About the company

A leading global financial services and insurance institution with a significant Asia footprint, running a group-wide learning transformation programme as part of a broader HR shared-services build-out.

The opportunity

This role sits at the centre of an already-underway learning transformation initiative — not a green-field build, but an ongoing programme with real governance structure around it. You'll act as the trusted internal partner ensuring the project moves through proper design and solution forums (Design Authority, SteerCo), stays on track, and holds the quality bar on deliverables coming from an external implementation consultant. This is a delivery-and-governance role first, and a learning/HR-domain role second — the person who thrives here treats project discipline as non-negotiable and is comfortable being the one in the room holding a vendor and senior stakeholders accountable to scope, timeline, and quality.

What you'll do

• Develop and implement project management practices aligned with strategic HR goals, establishing standardised, repeatable project frameworks
• Organise and facilitate governance forums — including Design Authority and Steering Committee sessions — to drive strategic alignment on design and solution decisions
• Monitor project timelines, proactively surfacing and resolving delays or issues before they escalate
• Oversee the work of the implementation consultant supporting the project, providing direction and holding deliverables to a quality-control standard for accuracy and completeness
• Identify and raise project risks, developing and implementing mitigation strategies
• Coordinate cross-functional collaboration across CoE, local business unit HR, and HR Tech teams
• Prepare and present project status reporting to senior management and stakeholders
• Ensure the project runs in compliance with established project management methodologies and best practices

What we're looking for

Must have:

• 6–8 years of experience in HR projects, HR transformation, change management, HR operations, or related project delivery roles
• Demonstrated project management fundamentals: planning, scheduling, risk and issue management
• Experience supervising a team or leading specialist work within HR projects, process improvement, or systems/organisational change initiatives
• Strong quality control instincts and attention to detail — comfortable reviewing and holding the line on someone else's deliverables
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, including with senior stakeholders
• Bachelor's degree in HR, Business Administration, Organisational Development, Project Management, or a related field

Nice to have:

• Strong knowledge of Workday Learning or comparable learning platforms
• PMP or similar project management certification
