Role Purpose

This is a Talent Partner role created to own the end-to-end execution of the talent management and inclusion portfolio. Working closely with the Head of Talent Management & Inclusion, you will translate talent strategy into live, running programmes — taking full operational accountability for delivery, cadence, stakeholder coordination and quality — so that strategic design and senior stakeholder engagement can be led at the right level.

Key Responsibilities

Succession & talent data

Own the accuracy and timeliness of talent inputs in the HCM / talent system (e.g. Workday) against cycle deadlines; partner with people analytics on dashboards and validation.
Serve as custodian of talent mobility tracking — open roles, candidate slates and movement history — and prepare ma
