Are you the person who spots the foundation problem underneath the quick fix — and has the courage to raise it when everyone else just wants to ship? Then join our mission to pioneer smarter water solutions that reduce energy use and improve lives.

As our new Employee Central Specialist, you'll be managing and optimizing SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central across multiple modules that ensures HR data integrity, seamless annual cycles, and cross-module coherence for our India rollout. You'll be part of a diverse, supportive and inclusive culture, that celebrates our differences and puts people first by fostering growth, well-being, and a sense of belonging.

What you will be doing

As a key part of the HR Platform Solutions team, you'll create impact by ensuring that annual HR cycles run flawlessly and that every module stays healthy, so employees and leaders experience reliable, invisible-when-it-works-perfectly HR technology.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Own Employee Central configuration and data quality across modules, switching between different data models without carrying assumptions from one into another
• Triage and resolve cross-module issues under cycle pressure — keeping performance, compensation, and other deadlines on track when multiple things break at once
• Surface and resolve cross-module conflicts in configuration rather than hiding them, holding coherence when module owners each push for their own local optimum
• Identify and escalate foundation problems to be fixed properly rather than building workarounds, even when the workaround would be faster
• Support global process standardization by delivering analysis, recommendations, and implementation of HR concepts, tools, and frameworks
• Coordinate HR platform deliverables aligned with short- and long-term business needs, ensuring quality, accessibility, and usability across all modules

What makes you a great fit

Above all, you're a technically sharp HR systems specialist who balances rigour with pragmatism — someone who gives every module equal attention, communicates clearly why a specification didn't work, and keeps the whole platform healthy rather than just the loudest part. We'd also imagine that you are/have:

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, including configuration across multiple modules
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in HR, IT, Business, or equivalent professional experience
• Demonstrated ability to lead HR processes or projects end-to-end, including stakeholder management under deadline pressure
• Strong understanding of HR data models, local regulations, and how upstream decisions in Employee Central affect downstream modules

It's a plus if you also:

• Experience supporting large-scale HRIS rollouts in India or other emerging markets
• Familiarity with adjacent SuccessFactors modules (Performance & Goals, Compensation, Time Management)
• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central certification

Why you'll love working here

Day to day, you can look forward to:

• A working environment built around your needs, with flexible hours, home working opportunities and parental support.
• Annual bonuses, health insurance and a strong focus on well-being activities.
• Three days' additional paid leave for volunteering.
• On-demand training and structured development programmes to support your growth.

Valuing our differences helps us see possibilities where others can't. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from all abilities, experiences, and backgrounds. As part of our commitment to a safe and compliant hiring process, final candidates may be required to undergo a background check, subject to applicable local laws and regulations.
