About the role

The Workforce Planning (WFP) - Regional Deployment & Change Lead plays a critical role within Reckitt’s HR Transformation team, acting as the regional owner for the successful deployment and embedding of Workforce Planning processes.

This role is accountable for the end-to-end rollout of WFP across functions and geographies, ensuring the approach is clearly understood, consistently applied, and fully embedded into business-as-usual rhythms.

Stakeholder Engagement & Change Leadership
•    Act as the primary regional deployment partner for HR, Finance, IT&D, Business Leaders, PMO and other key stakeholders.
•    Build strong, trusted relationships to influence adoption, reinforce accountability, and drive ownership.
•    Assess business readiness and define targeted change interventions to enable successful adoption.
•    Support leadership forums and governance with clear recommendations, insights, and progress updates.
 
Communications & Engagement
•    Deliver a clear and structured WFP communications approach aligned with the broader change strategy.
•    Develop and coordinate communication materials including briefing packs, FAQs, leadership talking points, intranet content, and updates.
•    Ensure consistent messaging and effective sequencing of communications aligned to WFP milestones and planning cycles.
 
Training & Capability Enablement
•    Coordinate and facilitate training sessions, workshops, and knowledge transfer activities.

The experience we're looking for

•    Strong experience delivering change and transformation initiatives, ideally within complex, matrixed organisations.

•    Proven ability to influence and engage senior stakeholders across HR, IT&D, Finance and the wider business.
•    Experience leading deployment or implementation of new processes, systems, or ways of working at scale.
•    Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex concepts into clear, compelling messages for different audiences.
•    Confidence operating within governance structures, managing risks, dependencies, and competing priorities.
