Mission
As People Development Manager, you play a key role in shaping a culture where people can thrive, grow, and contribute their best. You design and deliver development strategies that strengthen organisational capability, nurture talent, and enable teams and leaders to succeed in a dynamic environment. Your mission is to translate business needs into impactful learning and development solutions that support our strategic priorities and build a future-ready workforce.

Your main responsibilities

• Further build and implement our approach to performance development by 2027, anchored in a coaching culture and enabling consistent, high-quality talent and performance dialogues across the organization.
• Develop and enhance career pathing, talent pipeline, and succession planning frameworks, with career pathing as a main priority, to support internal mobility and long-term capability growth.
• Partner closely with HR Business Partners and leaders to identify capability gaps and recommend targeted, business-relevant development actions.
• Support our shift toward leadership development as a system, ensuring that leadership growth is embedded in everyday practices, interactions, and decision-making.
• Strengthen mentoring as a key development lever in close collaboration with our internal coaching pool, promoting cross-functional learning and knowledge sharing across teams and functions.
• Use data and insights to identify development needs and to measure the impact, effectiveness, and ROI of initiatives over time.

Your Impact
In this role, you help bring our company value “We learn and grow together” to life by shaping development experiences that create visible, meaningful impact across the organization. You strengthen a culture where continuous learning, collaboration, and shared growth are central to how we work. By designing development opportunities that employees can immediately apply, you empower individuals to take ownership of their growth and help teams learn, adapt, and perform at their best.

Your work is inherently collaborative. For one, you are part of a twelve-member team responsible for the entire employee experience, from Talent Acquisition to Organisational and Talent Development. Additionally, you connect with colleagues across HR and the business, bring people together around shared development goals, and enable leaders and teams to have open, constructive development conversations. You ensure that people development becomes an
integrated, everyday practice, something we build collectively rather than manage in isolation.

Ultimately, your impact shows in stronger capabilities, deeper engagement in learning, and a workforce that feels supported, confident, and ready to grow together to meet future challenges.
