• Strong understanding of performance management, competency development, and organizational development.

• Experience working directly with department heads, managers, and business leaders.

• Strong facilitation, presentation, communication, analytical, and project management skills.

• Ability to translate business requirements into practical and measurable learning solutions.

• Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills.

• Proficient in Microsoft Office and relevant HR/L&D systems or platforms.

• Experience in leadership development, succession planning, competency frameworks, or talent management is an advantage.
