HR Transformation Consultant

Who We AreSkillvue is the skills intelligence platform for enterprise HR. We help large organizations map, assess, decide: map the skills they have and the ones they need, assess skills, potential, culture and leadership at scale, and decide with confidence on hiring, learning & development, performance management, internal mobility, succession planning and strategic workforce planning. We are backed by leading international VCs (360 Capital, IFF, Kfund, 14Peaks) with €9M+ raised, and we work with leading companies across our target industries, such as banking, insurance, pharma, retail, fashion & luxury, aerospace & defence and manufacturing. Nearly 50% of the FTSE MIB’s market capitalization already trusts Skillvue’s AI to assess and grow talent. Come help us win the rest. Four principles shape how we work:
• Science as a foundation. Skillvue is built on I/O psychology and psychometrics. AI scales the scientific rigor; it never replaces it.
• Focus on talent, not the use case. One skills language and one data layer connect Talent Acquisition, Performance Management, L&D and Internal Mobility, so every process makes the next one smarter.
• Giving life to core HR systems. We bring objective talent data into the ATS, HCM and LMS our clients already use (SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM, SmartRecruiters, LMS/LXP), turning them from process gatekeepers into decision engines.
• Adoption partner. Precise implementation, the fastest path to value, and experiences candidates and employees genuinely enjoy, so impact starts from day one.

About the Role
We’re looking for an HR Transformation Consultant who has been on the other side of the table: someone who has sat in HR leadership meetings, led transformation initiatives, and knows what it really takes for a talent platform to create lasting change inside a large organization. This is not a typical pre-sales role. But you’ll co-own every strategic deal we pursue. This is not an HR advisory role. But your HR expertise will be the reason clients trust us. You’ll be the person who walks into a conversation with a CHRO and immediately understands what’s really at stake, not just what they’re asking for, but why they’re asking for it. You go beyond

requirements:
you uncover the transformation behind the request, map its organizational impact, define how success should be measured, and help clients navigate the risks that come with change. But here’s what sets this role apart: you bring a genuine tech orientation to every client conversation. You don’t just understand HR. You understand how technology enables, accelerates, and sometimes complicates transformation. You’re fluent in the architecture of HR tech ecosystems, comfortable discussing integrations, data flows, and AI-driven workflows, and you know how to connect the dots between a client’s tech landscape and the change they’re trying to drive. You get excited about what’s possible when the right platform meets the right strategy. You are not a vendor. You are a trusted partner, one who speaks both the language of the CHRO and the language of the system. What You’ll Do
• Listen deep, propose right. You’ll engage with CHROs, C-Levels and HR stakeholders to understand not just what they need, but the organizational and cultural context that shapes what will actually work for them. You translate those insights into tailored solutions that are technically sound, culturally coherent, and realistic to implement, because a great answer that doesn’t fit the organization is no answer at all.
• Build the business case that closes deals. You won’t just present features. You’ll construct the strategic argument that justifies the investment internally, connecting our solutions’ value to the client’s priorities, KPIs, and organizational challenges.
• Co-own the enterprise sales cycle. You’ll work side by side with our Account Executives across Italy and Europe, navigating complex multi-stakeholder deals (6–9 months).
• Be the bridge between client and product. When enterprise requirements come in, you don’t just forward them. You translate. You map what the customer needs against what we have, identify the gap, and propose solutions that are impactful and game-changing for both the client and Skillvue. You’re the voice of the client inside our walls and the voice of our product in the room.
• Stay ahead of what enterprise HR looks like. You understand talent processes deeply: L&D, Performance Management, Internal Mobility, Succession Planning, Workforce Planning. You know why succession projects fail, how 9-boxes differ from skills inventories, and what makes a CHRO push back on a vendor. You bring that knowledge into every conversation. What We’re Looking For
• Background in HR, HR consulting, or HR tech: you’ve experienced talent processes from the inside and know how enterprise organizations actually work
• Deep expertise in at least two of the following areas: L&D, Performance Management, Internal Mobility, Succession Planning, Workforce Planning. Talent Acquisition is a plus
• Enterprise experience is a must: you’ve operated in or sold to organizations with 1,000+ employees and navigated complex, multi-stakeholder environments
• Familiarity with enterprise sales cycles: you know what a discovery session, a business case, and a vendor evaluation really look like, and you’ve contributed to winning them
• Excellent communicator in both Italian and English: you can run a boardroom conversation in either language with confidence and credibility
• Tech-savvy and AI-native: you experiment with tools, find smarter ways to work, and embrace innovation as a default
• Strong under pressure: you handle ambiguity, competing priorities, and demanding stakeholders without losing your cool
• Proven ability to manage multi-stakeholder relationships across different levels of seniority and functions: you know how to navigate complexity without losing alignment
• Comfortable juggling multiple, very different projects simultaneously: you switch contexts with ease and deliver quality across all fronts without losing focus
• A true team player and the go-to person within the sales team: you bring strong communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills that make the people around you sharper and more confident
• Seniority is flexible: depth matters more than years

What We Offer
• Full-time permanent contract
• Compensation: €40,000–60,000 gross annual salary, based on experience
• Meal vouchers worth €8/day
• A collaborative, purpose-driven culture where your ideas shape the future of work
• Real impact in a fast-growing startup that values people who strive to improve every day and build things they can be proud of: your work will be visible, your impact will be measurable, and your voice will matter in rooms where decisions get made
• Hybrid work environment, based in Italy with occasional European travel Our Interview ProcessIntro call with our Talent team, interview with the Sales Director, meeting with a peer on the team, final conversation with leadership.
