Working in close partnership with the Chief People Officer, leaders, and the wider People team, you will translate People strategy and business priorities into a clear, focused capability roadmap and operating model. You will lead how Talent Development is delivered across the business, establishing standards, governance and rhythms that enable learning to scale naturally, without unnecessary bureaucracy.
