This is a right hand woman/man role - reporting to the Head of OD, but very much being the eyes and ears to the Head of OD.

The role also requires a strong understand of the wider talent management space - as this is an area of focus for the business, and one in which the individual who occupies this role will need to support.

The role needs to take full end to end' accountability for OD projects, initiatives and activities across the business - managing a portfolio of change and driving projects through to completion.

As such the role requires a completer - finisher, as much as someone who can manage the more strategic elements of OD and blue-sky business/strategic thinking.
