Product Owner - Employee Staffing

Context:

Pernod Ricard is the global co-leader in wines and spirits and the leader in the premium segment. Listed in the Paris CAC40, Pernod Ricard has a portfolio of prestigious brands such as Ricard, Absolut, Chivas Regal, Ballantine’s, Jameson, Martell, Havana Club, Mumm and Perrier-Jouët. With an annual turnover of more than 9bn, the Group is present in 80+ markets around the world and employs more than 18,000 employees.

Pernod Ricard renewed its HR Strategy in 2018 with the TransfoHRm project that aimed at making ‘convivialité’ a genuine performance accelerator by:

Putting the employee experience at the center;
Sharing success through a culture of empowerment and accountability;
Boosting individual and collective performance.

All of that being supported by digital to accelerate the transformation. In only one year, Pernod Ricard rolled out on a global scale the HRIS solution Workday (big bang deployment in 85 affiliates of all the main modules). Since 2019, other global HR platforms have also been deployed, such as: eQuest, HireVue, Adaptive Insights, Coursera, Glint, EdApp and a dedicated Web App to support the Group Social Reporting.

After a couple of years in project mode, the HR Transformation team enters a new phase of continuous improvement and efficiency optimization to embed the transformation at every stage of the employee life cycle. This should be done through driving the adoption of our existing platforms, influencing the local and global digital HR roadmaps, bringing more process harmonization and simplification, and defining AI use cases in order to unleash the potential of our HR data and transform them into valuable insights and services.
