Overview
Bank of England – Head of Talent, Inclusion & Leadership. Lead Talent, Inclusion and Leadership under one bold, data-driven vision within the Bank of England's People Strategy & Insights function.
This is a senior leadership role at the heart of the Bank’s People Directorate’s Senior Leadership Team. You will lead the Inclusion, Talent Acquisition, Future Talent, and Organisational Capability & Effectiveness teams (including Learning, Development, Performance and Leadership).
You will shape and drive the Bank’s Talent, Inclusion and Leadership strategy to build a culture of inclusion, capability and high performance in support of the Bank’s mission.
Key Responsibilities
* Strategic integration: Create a unified, insight-led approach across Talent Acquisition, Organisational Capability (L&D, Leadership, Performance) and Culture, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
* Capability & leadership: Embed a 3–5-year organisational capability programme to transform leadership development and performance culture.
* Inclusion & belonging: Evolve DEI beyond compliance into a genuine, inclusion-first approach that champions belonging and diversity of thought.
* Data-driven impact: Leverage analytics and workforce insights to measure progress and influence at Executive level.
* People leadership: Lead three senior managers and their teams, fostering collaboration, accountability and professional excellence across PS&I.
About You
You are a strategic, commercially astute HR leader who brings credibility, calm and influence at Executive level. You thrive in complex, governance-heavy environments and are skilled at building alignment and driving progress through data, partnership and persuasion.
You will bring:
* Senior expertise across Talent, Inclusion, Organisational Development or L&D (with depth in at least two).
* A track record of driving and embedding strategic and cultural change at scale.
* The ability to “speak the language of the business” – pragmatic, clear and outcome-focused.
* Emotional intelligence, resilience and the confidence to navigate complexity with diplomacy.
This is a rare opportunity to define how talent, leadership and inclusion intersect within a major UK institution. You’ll be shaping culture and capability at scale – influencing how 5,000+ colleagues grow, lead and thrive.
If you’re ready to bring strategic coherence, evidence-based thinking and authentic leadership to a role that truly makes a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
