As a Planning & Enablement SME, you'll help define "what good looks like" for planning across the People Function. You will design practical toolkits, frameworks, and guidance that teams can use to plan and deliver their own work with confidence.

Design and maintain planning and delivery toolkits, templates, and guidance materials (e.g., RACI models, RAID logs, project briefs, prioritisation templates, budget trackers, checklists).
Partner with HR teams to understand planning and delivery challenges and translate these into practical enablement solutions (e.g., planning workshops, creating new templates, simplifying complex delivery concepts).
Provide coaching and uplift planning capability across HR teams, drawing on waterfall, agile, Lean, and Kanban principles.
Support quarterly planning cycles, prioritisation, sequencing, and integration with overall portfolio rhythms in collaboration with Demand Planning.
Create and maintain self‑serve resources such as SharePoint hubs, how‑to guides, videos, and quick‑reference toolkits.
Continuously improve planning materials based on feedback, usage data, and evolving needs.
Experiment with AI tools (Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT) to improve planning efficiency and user experience.
What You'll Bring
Experience in a planning, delivery, PMO, or enablement support role in large matrixed organisation
Experience in either Scrum, Agile, Lean or other delivery frameworks.
Experience in solving complex business problems problem.
Demonstrated experience building toolkits, templates, or guidance including the use of Ai.
Experience creating simple solutions to real business challenges.
Experience working cross‑functionally and supporting capability development.
Experience supporting teams with planning, consultation or delivery advice.
Desirable
Exposure to project, programme, or enterprise planning tools.
Experience using AI tools for planning or documentation.
