Referment is working with a global investment and technology firm seeking a Human Capital Project Manager to join the team responsible for employee-data products, third-party platforms and compensation processes. You’ll use data and systems thinking to answer important talent questions and improve the workflows and tools that support decision-making.

- Carry out ad hoc compensation analysis in partnership with colleagues across human capital and related teams.
- Scope ambiguous projects through user discovery, then create cross-team workflows and products that address the resulting needs.
What We’re Looking For
- A bachelor’s degree or higher and at least seven years of relevant experience.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including confidence engaging executive stakeholders.
- Strong problem-solving and systems thinking, with the ability to translate non-technical user needs into technical requirements.
- Advanced Excel skills and the willingness to work through both strategic questions and detailed execution.
- A record of driving projects to completion across colleagues with different levels of technical knowledge.
- Excellent discretion when handling confidential employee and compensation information.
