Responsibilities

Talent Development

• Training Need Analysis: Conduct diagnostics to determine targeted training needs, looking at specific job tasks, team efficiencies, and performance gaps. Use these insights to decide on dedicated learning methods, including training sessions or courses to enhance skills.

• Skill Gap Analysis: Evaluate current employee skills, analyse organisational needs, and build reskilling or upskilling training frameworks. Conduct comprehensive assessments to identify critical talent shortages. This includes identifying niche skills or critical knowledge areas where the impact of loss would be high for the company.

• Program Design: Create, execute, and monitor continuous learning methods and programmes, capability models, and performance development initiatives. This involves leading the end-to-end life cycle of training interventions to ensure they meet evolving organisational needs. You will be responsible for designing targeted pathways for professional growth that include strategic local or global cross-functional stretch assignments for key talents.

• Training Employees: Facilitate a wide range of instructor-led and self-paced programmes. Oversee functional skill training such as Finance for Non-Financials and technical competencies. Manage training provider partnerships locally.

Leadership pipeline and Career Pathways

• Leadership & Coaching: Provide leadership coaching and guidance to design career pathways and individual development plans to retain high-potential employees. You will partner with managers to cultivate internal talent pipelines through structured mentorship and succession planning to mitigate leadership risks. Utilize external coaching partnerships, for selected managerial levels to bridge knowing-doing gaps.

• Talent Review and Succession Planning: In partnership with the HR Manager, lead and facilitate the Talent Review and succession planning process to identify high-potential talent, map capabilities, and mitigate leadership risk. Partner closely with business leaders to evaluate workforce performance and potential, ensuring objective calibration and a transparent approach to talent identification.

• Team Effectiveness: Drive the development of high-performing leadership teams, both local and functional management groups e.g: IMT, Data Leadership Team etc. By focusing on team dynamics, foster alignment, and accelerate collective effectiveness and performance, ensuring our senior leadership structures are operating at their highest potential.

Organisational Development Culture & engagement

• Employee Engagement: Manage employee engagement surveys to nurture a positive organisational culture. Transform survey data into actionable insights and initiatives that improve workplace morale, job satisfaction and long-term retention.

• Driving a Performance-Based Culture & System Adoption: Cultivate a high-accountability, performance-driven culture by leading the adoption and continuous improvement of the YPM process. This role is responsible for ensuring that performance frameworks are not just administrative exercises, but active strategic tools.

• Drive and align Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategies across the APAC region. You will oversee regional DEI programmes, align closely with the global team on activities and collaborate with business leaders and key stakeholders to build and scale inclusive workplace practices. You will manage end-to-end programme execution, measure impact, and foster a strong sense of belonging throughout APAC.

Change Management

• When required, implement structured change management initiatives that minimise disruption and maximise employee adoption of new or existing initiatives. This role acts as a bridge between strategic transformation goals and daily operations, ensuring that shifts in technology, processes, culture or organisational structure are smoothly integrated.

Organisational Transformation

• Strategic Alignment: Ensure strategic alignment between HR practices and business objectives by acting as a bridge between talent development efforts and the company’s long-term commercial goals.
