- Strong experience leading and developing HR teams and acting as a coach and sounding board to both HR professionals and senior leaders.
- A track record of shaping and implementing people strategies that drive organisational performance and capability.
- Experience partnering with Executive and Board-level stakeholders. Including upskilling newly appointed exco-members.
- Strong organisational development, succession planning and talent management expertise.
- Broad HR generalist experience covering employee relations, recruitment, workforce planning, performance management and organisational change.
- Experience operating in environments where balancing strategic thinking with hands-on delivery is essential.
- Strong commercial awareness, influencing skills and the ability to build credibility quickly.

This is an excellent opportunity for a forward-thinking HR leader who enjoys building capability, influencing senior stakeholders and making a tangible impact on both people strategy and business performance.
