  • Align performance management with growth and retention strategies
  • Partner with business and CoEs to influence and enable action

What You Bring

  • Degree in HR, Organisational Development, or related field (postgrad an advantage)
  • 10+ years total experience, with 5+ in talent and performance
  • Proven record in designing and rolling out talent frameworks
  • Strong understanding of career mobility, succession, and assessment tools
  • Analytical and pragmatic, with a performance and growth mindset
  • Excellent collaboration, facilitation, and stakeholder influence skills
  • What Success Looks Like

  • Strong succession pipelines and internal mobility
  • Embedded talent practices linked to business goals
  • Performance culture that drives accountability and growth
  • Measurable reduction in regrettable losses and talent risk
