Working closely with senior leaders, you’ll influence leadership capability, enable culture and engagement shifts, and guide the development of frameworks and programmes across leadership development, talent and succession, culture, diversity and inclusion, cultural capability, and more. This role operates with a high degree of autonomy and influence, requiring sound professional judgement, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to work effectively in a complex system.
