About the Role
The primary objective of the HR Center of Excellence (CoE) is to empower various companies for which Bhavin Turakhia is the CEO/Founder/Investor to achieve high levels of process maturity, standardization, and excellence. This objective spans across all the functions that would impact HR at these organizations (e.g. Talent Acquisition, Compensation and Benefits, Talent Management, Talent Engagement, Operations, IT, Real Estate & Workspace, Culture, Learning & Development, and so on)
As the head of the HR Center for Excellence (CoE) in the CEO’s Office, you will typically spend 75% of your time on Process Excellence and the remaining 25% on Strategy and Planning. The CEO’s office and various CoEs, including this one, are primarily responsible for Process Excellence, KPI management, Internal Consulting & Advocacy. As such, this CoE is not specifically responsible for the day-to-day operations – which are managed by relevant business or functional leaders across various companies. However, you may be called upon to roll-up your sleeves from time to time to assist with execution of specific initiatives.
You will be successful in this role when:
*This CoE creates and publishes top-notch materials that represent industry defining concepts, processes & playbooks
*HR groups across group companies are able to incorporate the output from this CoE to significantly improve their operational metrics & outcomes
