Junior Project Manager for External Workforce Framework Project

Junior Project Manager for External Workforce Framework Project – Change Management, English

Role:
For our client based in Basel we are looking for a Junior Project Manager for External Workforce Framework Project.

Skill shortages, evolving labor regulations, globalization and structural changes in organizations
are all trends that have necessitated a shift from the traditional model of acquiring and developing
talent within the organization towards a model whereby organizations are increasingly relying on
the external market (e.g. outside hiring, contingent and alternative work arrangements) to acquire
the skills they need to achieve their goals. As a result, the concepts of workforce and talent are
undergoing an evolution and organizations are looking at talent the traditional boundaries of the
enterprise.

The external workforce (consultants, contractors, and managed services personnel) is a
significant portion of the Total Workforce. Depending on the type and location, the lifecycle
of external workforce is managed by different processes, which are fragmented. A full
end to end framework would combine different processes and solutions (covering on- and offboarding,
processes, systems and data flows etc.), and involve various functions around a global
governance model.

The External Workforce Framework (EWF) Project aims at improving efficiency, addressing
compliance risk and providing transparency to, ultimately, enable a talent strategic approach. We
are introducing a range of solutions to enable these goals, including a new system to register
external partners, a support solution and team, and a reporting suite.

transformation. We are looking for Project Management and Change Management support for a
