About the Role
As Talent & Performance Manager, you will shape and embed the people products that unlock performance, accelerate development, and build inclusive, wellbeing-centred practices at Ocado.

You will set the strategic direction for these frameworks while overseeing their day-to-day application - partnering across the business to ensure they are future-focused and responsive to change. By combining product ownership with strong stakeholder influence, you’ll drive innovation, insight, and thought-leadership that enables our people to grow, progress, and thrive in an inclusive high-performing culture.
This role plays a pivotal part in strengthening pipelines for critical roles, mitigating talent and succession risks, and shaping a culture of performance, wellbeing, and opportunity across our global business.
