What will your essential responsibilities include?

• Strategic workforce planning: Translate our technology & AI strategy into a forward‑looking people, organization and workforce agenda, executing our workforce strategy with a core focus on skills and capabilities needed 2–5 years from now.

• Commercial & enterprise acumen: Understand technology investment, productivity, capacity, location strategy and talent economics while connecting Tech & AI decisions to broader enterprise implications.
• Data‑driven decision making: Use workforce intelligence, skills data and scenario planning to shape decisions and challenge assumptions, moving to predictive analytics to execute our workforce strategy.

We’re looking for someone who has these abilities and skills:

PEOPLE | Daring Partner & Change Leader

• Resilience & comfort in ambiguity: Remain effective and ability to pivot when priorities shift, in a transformative landscape where we are solving new emerging business challenges.
• Coaching & Executive counsel: Build credibility to challenge senior leaders constructively, to onboard or integrate into a newly formed Tech & AI leadership team, building high performance.
• Strategic influence & trust: Build trusted relationships quickly and influence senior stakeholders through credibility, insight, and collaboration.
• Change leadership at pace: Create readiness, adoption and sustained behavior change while the workforce evolves.
• Learning agility & curiosity: Possess a relentless appetite to understand emerging technologies, workforce trends and the evolution of technology & AI impacts on our people/organization.

Our 2023-26 Sustainability strategy, called “Roots of resilience”, focuses on protecting natural ecosystems, addressing climate change, and embedding sustainable practices across our operations.

Our Pillars

• Valuing nature: How we impact nature affects how nature impacts us. Resilient ecosystems - the foundation of a sustainable planet and society – are essential to our future. We’re committed to protecting and restoring nature – from mangrove forests to the bees in our backyard – by increasing biodiversity awareness and inspiring clients and colleagues to put nature at the heart of their plans.

Unpredictable weather, increasing temperatures, and rising sea levels cause both social inequalities and environmental disruption. We're building a net zero strategy, developing insurance products and services, and mobilizing to advance thought leadership and investment in societal‑led solutions.

Incorporating ESG considerations into our internal processes and practices builds resilience from the roots of our business. We’re training our colleagues, engaging our external partners, and evolving our sustainability governance and reporting.
