HR Strategy Implementation Consultant - 6 Months Contract, Abu Dhabi
Location
Client site
Consulting And Secondment And Contract
We are supporting a newly established government entity with the implementation of its newly developed HR strategy.
As the organisation is still in the early stages of maturity, many HR processes, frameworks and initiatives are being built, refined and embedded for the first time.
The role requires a strong HR generalist with hands-on experience across the full HR value chain, who can support the transition from strategy into practical implementation.
This person will work closely with senior stakeholders to help operationalise HR initiatives, improve ways of working, and support the development of a scalable HR function.
This is a practical delivery role suited to someone who has worked across HR transformation, HR operating models, workforce planning, performance management, organisation design and wider people-related initiatives.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the implementation of a newly developed HR strategy across a government organisation.
- Translate strategic HR priorities into practical initiatives, workplans and implementation activities.
- Support the design and refinement of HR processes, policies, governance structures and operating model components.
- Work across areas including workforce planning, organisation design, performance management, talent, capability building and employee lifecycle processes.
- Assist in developing HR frameworks, templates, toolkits and documentation to support the maturity of the HR function.
- Engage with internal stakeholders to understand business needs, gather inputs and support adoption of new HR processes.
- Track progress across HR initiatives, identify risks or gaps, and support resolution of implementation challenges.
- Help embed structured HR ways of working within a newly established and evolving organisation.
- Support change management and communication activities linked to new HR initiatives and processes.
Required Experience
- Strong HR generalist background with experience across multiple areas of the HR value chain.
- Experience supporting HR strategy implementation, HR transformation or HR operating model projects.
- Good understanding of workforce planning, performance management, organisation design and HR process development.
- Previous experience working with government, public sector or large complex organisations is highly preferred.
- Comfortable working in immature or newly established environments where processes are still being developed.
- Strong stakeholder engagement skills and the ability to work closely with senior internal teams.
- Ability to turn strategy into practical actions, deliverables and implementation plans.
- Consulting or client-facing experience would be a strong advantage.
- Arabic language skills would be beneficial, depending on stakeholder environment.
Ideal Profile
The ideal candidate will be a pragmatic HR professional who can operate across both strategy and execution.
They should be comfortable working in a developing environment, bringing structure, clarity and momentum to HR initiatives while supporting stakeholders through change.
This is not a narrow HR specialist role.
The client needs someone broad, adaptable and hands-on, with the ability to support multiple HR workstreams and help build the foundations of a maturing HR function
