Digital Process Owner: Recruiting & Onboarding (F/M/X)
About this role
You are the single accountable owner for the digital recruiting and onboarding process layer at Accor, across a portfolio of platforms spanning the full candidate and new hire journey, including SmartRecruiter, AssessFirst, and the Onboarding module in SAP SuccessFactors, covering both corporate and hotel populations. This means going directly to hotels, regions, and CoE stakeholders to conduct needs analysis, understanding what is actually required before translating it into structured, precise requirements that can move.
You own the domain backlog and roadmap, you decide what proceeds and what does not, and you are accountable for the results. Autonomy here is real, and so is the ownership. You manage the full change request lifecycle: from needs analysis through to testing, release readiness, and sign-off. Nothing goes live without your validation. You also extract and produce platform reports on request, supporting the business while the broader data infrastructure continues to mature.
You are also the face of the Recruiting & Onboarding digital experience. You produce adoption materials, appear in video explainers, contribute on community calls, and show up for TA teams and hiring managers in a way that makes the technology feel like a tool, not a barrier. You are building trust in the platforms, not just administering them. We are actively developing AI-driven projects in the preboarding and onboarding space, exploring how agentic automation can remove friction and personalise the new hire experience at scale.
You will help shape what that looks like in practice. Clean data integrity from offer acceptance through to Core HR is also in scope and non-negotiable.
