Who we are

PeopleCentriX is an independent, advisory-only HR strategy consultancy founded in 2022. We help HR leaders design people strategies, HR operating models and change programmes that people can actually live with. Our clients are international organisations, public institutions and private companies, in Switzerland and abroad. We do not sell or configure software. Our job is to make sure a new HR system changes how people work. See whom we serve and our anonymised client cases at peoplecentrix.eu/our-work.

The role

One position. We set the level according to your experience: Consultant (about 3–5 years) or Senior Consultant (about 5–8 years). Your first assignment is the adoption and change workstream of an international company’s cloud HCM rollout across several countries.

What you will do

• Work side by side with the founder and the client’s programme, HR and IT teams
• Assess what changes for whom, by process, role and country, and turn it into a clear adoption plan
• Build the change approach: stakeholder map, sponsor roadmap, change agent network, communication calendar
• Design and deliver training people remember: role-based learning paths, train-the-trainer, quick reference guides, end-user sessions
• Prepare HR teams, managers and employees for new self-service processes
• Measure readiness and adoption: surveys, pulse checks after go-live, usage and support data, and act on the gaps
• Be there at go-live and during hypercare: on-site help, FAQs, issue triage with the project team
• Help HR adapt roles, responsibilities and ways of working to the new processes

As a Senior Consultant, you will also

• Lead the change workstream across countries
• Run readiness and go-live decision reviews with programme sponsors and HR leadership
• Coach change agents and junior colleagues, and shape proposals

What makes you a strong fit

• Good knowledge of core HR processes: employee data, recruiting, performance, compensation, learning
• A structured change method (ADKAR or similar), applied in practice, not only on paper
• Clear writing for non-specialists
• Calm confidence in front of senior clients, and willingness to travel in Switzerland and abroad

Nice to have

• Understanding of HR operating models: roles of HR business partners, centres of expertise and shared services, and how a new system changes them
• German or another language used in a multi-country rollout
• A change management certification
• Experience with multi-country rollouts or with staff representatives

What we offer

• Real responsibility on a high-stakes HR transformation from your first month
• Close coaching by a founder with 20+ years of consulting experience
• Exposure to HR strategy and HR operating model work beyond the rollout
• A say in how the firm grows and in its methods
• Flexible, hybrid working, with 80% possible

How to apply

Apply through LinkedIn with your CV and a motivation letter, and answer the screening questions. Write the letter in your own words. Use AI to polish it if you like, but not to write it: we read it to hear you, not a model. Tell us three things: why this role, why now, and one adoption or change effort you are proud of.

We review applications on a rolling basis. Interviews run in late November and early December, mostly in French, followed by a short case exercise. We aim to make an offer in December 2026, in line with the start of client engagements. With your written agreement, we may present your profile to clients during this period.
