Organisational Design & Change Leadership
  • Lead design and implementation of future‑state structures across corporate functions.
  • Support a major functional transformation, ensuring stakeholder alignment and disciplined change execution.
  • Guide leaders through evolving operating models, fast‑paced decision‑making and periods of ambiguity.
Leadership, Culture & Capability Uplift
  • Coach executives to lift performance, sharpen accountability and build strong, feedback‑driven team environments.
  • Support cultural alignment as the organisation matures and embeds new ways of working.
  • Maintain focus, engagement and clarity across teams throughout periods of change.
  • Lead complex ER matters, including investigations, performance matters and workforce changes.
What You Will Bring
  • Extensive HR Business Partnering experience within complex, fast‑moving environments
  • Proven capability partnering with Executive Leaders and influencing at senior levels
  • Strong experience in organisational change, including restructures, operating model shifts or large‑scale transformation
  • Exposure to global or matrix structures
  • Experience within technology, digital or professional services environments (highly regarded)
