You will be responsible for leading large-scale projects that align the firm's organizational design with its long-term commercial objectives, specifically supporting diverse business units from corporate functions to commercial divisions.

The role offers a sophisticated balance between high-level organizational strategy and hands-on execution. You are expected to act as a trusted advisor to senior business leaders, providing data-driven insights and the "courageous" consultation required to challenge the status quo and foster a culture of performance and inclusion.

• Impactful Work: You will be at the forefront of organizational transformation, moving beyond administrative HR into a true "architect" role.
