The role focuses on enabling cross-border collaboration, supporting transitions of work between countries (including offshoring), strengthening transformation/change delivery, and building one culture across teams in the US, Canada, Bogota, Mumbai, and across all seven Marsh regions.

The role works closely with HR Centers of Expertise and local People Partner teams to deliver integrated talent, learning, reward, and hiring solutions aligned to business strategy across Operations, Technology, and enterprise transformation.

• Enable multi-country and multi-region operating rhythms and leader alignment; support a consistent, inclusive culture experience and “one culture” mindset.
• Lead/support workforce transitions between countries (e.g., movement of work, offshoring, operating model changes), including change planning, communications, leader readiness, and adoption support.
• Provide organization design expertise (structure, roles, spans/layers, decision rights, workflow handoffs) with particular strength in offshore/distributed delivery models.
• Drive talent management practices: talent reviews, succession depth, performance differentiation, retention planning, and internal mobility to build a strong workbench.
• Partner with the Talent Partner, Learning, Reward, and Talent Acquisition teams to deliver integrated people solutions and the best service to the organization.
• Support skill building strategies for Operations, Technology, and Transformation in partnership with Learning; help leaders identify future skill needs and close gaps.
• Partner with Rewards on compensation planning and guidance; ensure pay decisions reflect performance, market considerations, and workforce strategy.
• Build fluency and point of view on how agentic AI may impact Operations, Technology, and Transformation work, skills, job design, and governance; help leaders plan for workforce implications.

What you need to have:

• HR Business Partner/People Partner experience supporting senior leaders in complex, matrixed environments.
• Demonstrated experience supporting a global client group across multiple countries/regions (including operating across time zones and cultures).
• Experience partnering with local HR/People Partner teams to coordinate local delivery within a global operating model.
• Strong organization design and change leadership capability, including experience with offshoring or distributed delivery transitions.
• Demonstrated capability supporting transformation functions (e.g., change, continuous improvement, process transformation, business architecture) and leading through ambiguity.
• Deep understanding of building a strong workbench through talent planning, succession, skills development, and internal mobility.
• Experience partnering on compensation planning and advising leaders through annual/quarterly people cycles.
• Business acumen and understanding of Operations and Technology organizations, including how they partner to deliver outcomes.
• Excellent influencing, communication, and stakeholder management skills; able to challenge constructively and drive alignment without direct authority.

What makes you stand out:

• Experience supporting COO-led organizations, enterprise transformations, or global delivery/GBS models.
• Exposure to automation/AI-driven operating model shifts and associated workforce impacts; strong desire to learn agentic AI implications.
• Formal training in organization design and/or change management (helpful, not required).
