• Lead organisational listening and employee engagement, translating insight into targeted action
• Drive talent management and succession planning, with specific accountability for:
• Identification and management of critical roles
• Development and retention of high potential talent
• Building diverse, sustainable leadership pipelines
• Partner with key stakeholders to identify capability gaps and workforce risks, turning insight into practical OD and talent solutions

About you
• Demonstrated experience leading OD, culture or talent functions in complex organisations
• Proven people leadership capability, including coaching, performance management and team development
• Deep experience in succession planning, critical roles and leadership capability
• Strong influencer with the confidence to partner with cross-functional leaders
