The HRIS team designs, delivers and continuously improves global HR solutions that enable Bacardi’s people strategy.

• Use data, user feedback and Workday releases to identify opportunities for simplification, adoption and continuous improvement, constructively challenging complexity and focusing decisions on outcomes and value realised.
• Enable Bacardi’s future talent intelligence agenda by identifying opportunities, shaping requirements and supporting adoption of new capabilities across the Talent technology landscape.

Skills & Experience:

• 5+ years' experience in HRIS, HR Technology, Workday consulting, implementation or solution ownership.

• Courageous and collaborative, able to challenge assumptions constructively, simplify complexity and build alignment across stakeholders.
• Accountable and outcome-led, taking ownership from idea through adoption and measuring success by value realised.
• Agile and user-focused, able to navigate a dynamic global environment, balance competing priorities and keep the employee and manager experience at the centre.
