You position yourself as a strategic partner of the Human Resources Directorate and support this department in deploying innovative HR tools (HRIS, LMS, ATS) and platforms, enabling the institution to meet numerous technological challenges and address current and future HR issues (new remuneration grid, legal and regulatory constraints, talent management, training management, recruitment and integration, protection of sensitive data, and qualitative structure of HR data). You collaborate closely with various business experts (HR operations, skills development center, or talent and leadership services) and rely on the HR project management and methods teams.

You supervise the entire domain's activity and coordinate the provision of necessary resources for the realization of business projects. You manage trade-offs, prioritize activities, and manage domain resources, including possible pooling, to ensure efficient and quality service.

In agreement with your management, you define the organization of the HRIS domain, which you evolve according to institutional and technological challenges. Thanks to your committed leadership, you supervise group leaders, plan their activities, and unite all teams around a clear vision. You develop a collaborative work environment based on responsibility, listening, co-construction, and recognition. You support your employees in their development, ensure their continuous training, and guarantee regular performance evaluations.

Thanks to your strategic orientation, you contribute to defining and deploying the overall IT strategy of the Applications Service. You participate in developing the functional and technical master plan and propose technological evolutions to anticipate future needs and strengthen the domain's performance. You maintain active monitoring of HRIS technologies, HR application integration, architectures, workflows, and data management, ensuring the overall coherence of implemented solutions.

As a strategic interlocutor of the DTN-IA and project management, you advise the HR Directorate as well as medical departments and support services in their long-term reflections on information systems, planning, and organization. You ensure complete coverage of business needs by actively participating in system design, evaluating functional and technical impacts, and ensuring the quality of deliverables.
