What you’ll own

Leader Partnerships:

• Own a broad portfolio of leader relationships across functions and levels from Heads of to VP - as a genuine thought partner, not a service provider.
• Translate business context into people priorities: org questions, team dynamics, capability gaps, hiring decisions.
• Handle ER cases, employment questions, probation conversations, manager coaching with good judgment and speed.

Drive Performance Culture:

• Lead the rollout and execution of our performance cycle.
• Build the muscle of ongoing feedback and honest performance conversations across the organisation.
• Support leaders in making timely, fair to the person/fair to the business, well-reasoned people decisions.

Leadership & L&D:

• Co-own and grow our leadership development offer: Action learning sets, new manager foundations, ad hoc enablement.
• Identify capability gaps and design pragmatic interventions.

Talent & Organisation:

• Partner on org design questions, headcount decisions, and role scoping as the business evolves.
• Support hiring quality.
• Own job architecture maintenance and levelling as we grow.

Drive Change:

• Use AI to redesign how P&C works from how we run processes to how we support leaders.
• Keep raising the bar by constantly looking for ways to automate, simplify, and rethink how People & Culture operates through AI.
• Initiate continuous process improvements, based on the opportunities you spot, with adjacent teams within and around P&C.
