  • Lead the day‑to‑day delivery and credibility of our People Operations and People Partnering functions across the full employee lifecycle.
  • Ensure responsive, inclusive and values‑driven recruitment, onboarding and employee experience practices.
  • Drive the improvement, implementation and optimisation of People systems, data, workflows and reporting, enabling insight‑led decision‑making across the organisation.
