Organisation & People Lead
We’re proud to be partnering with a globally recognised, family-owned business to recruit a high-impact Organisation & People Lead.
This pivotal role sits at the heart of how the business operates – helping leadership design, evolve, and govern an organisation fit for long-term growth.
This is more than a governance role. It’s about building trust, creating clarity, and enabling effective, joined-up decision-making. You’ll work in close partnership with leadership and teams to simplify complexity, evolve structures and people practices that drive meaningful business outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
As a trusted partner, you will:
* Act as a visible custodian of the Organisation and People pillars of the Operating Model – ensuring they are consistently applied across the business and continually evolve and improve.
* Monitor alignment to these principles while empowering leaders to own day-to-day accountability.
* Shape and review organisational changes, helping teams design effective structures that cut across silos, geographies, and functions.
* Provide constructive challenge and support to ensure good governance and rigorous debate around change – balancing business needs with long-term objectives.
* Surface system-wide risks and opportunities, connecting the dots across functions to reduce complexity and improve performance.
You’ll also play a lead role in the implementation of a new global Human Capital Management (HCM) System.
This includes:
* Offering organisational insight and change expertise to shape the system’s discovery, design, and delivery.
* Ensuring the system reflects and supports the company’s operating model, including clarity on role profiles, recruitment, learning, and succession planning.
* Collaborating closely with project leads and stakeholders to guide change management and governance workstreams.
The Ideal Candidate Will Have:
We’re looking for someone who brings both strategic insight and hands-on credibility – someone who can partner, influence, and make things happen.
You’ll have:
* Significant experience in organisation design, ideally in a complex or global business environment.
* A systems-thinking mindset, with the ability to see the big picture, connect interdependencies, and keep people at the centre of transformation.
* Demonstrated success influencing stakeholders and driving adoption of new ways of working.
* A strong process orientation, with experience of identifying inefficiencies and driving improvements through process design, simplification, and optimisation.
* High emotional intelligence, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to build trust and navigate ambiguity.
* A collaborative, resilient, and solutions-focussed approach.
We welcome candidates from diverse Organisation Design, HR, or operational leadership backgrounds. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a truly exceptional business – and help make its ambition real through its people and structure.
