• A proven track record of embedding OD methodologies within major transformation, integration, restructuring or service redesign programmes at organisational level.
• Experience operating autonomously and providing specialist OD leadership across multiple workstreams and stakeholders.
• Strong experience of diagnosing organisational and cultural challenges and translating insight into practical, measurable interventions.
• The ability to influence and engage executive leaders, senior clinical leaders and large stakeholder groups through periods of ambiguity and change.
• Experience of developing and implementing organisational culture transformation, leadership development and organisational effectiveness initiatives at an organisational level.
• A collaborative approach, with experience of working within matrix environments where responsibility for OD and transformation is shared across teams.
