Role specification

The purpose of the role is simple: help us attract, develop, support, and retain the exceptional talent required to realise our strategic ambition. Working closely with our senior management team, you will be accountable for people-related processes and activities including, but not limited to the following:

• Shaping and managing candidate attraction and selection activities, including digital and social marketing of vacancies; direct outreach to candidates we want to proactively target; managing the candidate experience and comms; internal coordination of the selection process including organising interviews, assessments, etc.
• Establishing and managing ‘talent pools’ of above-the-line candidates whom we would like to appoint as and when roles open up through our continued growth; maintaining warm comms with those candidates; making recommendation to the senior management team on which candidates could be aligned to new roles; coordinating final selection processes.
• Shaping and managing new colleagues’ onboarding - including both formal and compliance activities, and their warm, successful landing in the business. This will include coordinating regular induction sessions for new colleagues and supporting those who join us in between those structured programmes to get what they need before the next series comes around.
• Timely, compliant, and impactful delivery of people-related policies and processes including e.g. probationary review; development coaching / line management activities across the business; coordinating staff engagement activities including the staff forum, regular engagement surveys, and other collaboration between leadership and staff.
• Supporting the senior management team, and staff forum, to shape the culture our strategy requires through a rolling series of considered, tangible, actions which encourage colleagues to engage with and support delivery of our goals - not least by acting in a manner which is consistent with, and furthers, our values.
• Shaping and managing delivery of our investment in staff development, including external training and networking activities which we support colleagues to build their expertise in our markets and proposition areas; and management of colleagues’ personal development budgets - driving engagement, spend, and impact for our people and the business.
• Coordinating formal performance review and reward processes, including particularly the facilitation of colleagues providing each other with candid, actionable, feedback that will help them develop and deliver for the business. This includes both facilitation of the formal end of year process - and constant encouragement and challenge through the year.
• Other people-related activities as required to deliver our strategy - and active support for the wider PMO team, likely including support for some activities which do not relate directly to the people ‘brief’ but which do support the impactful operation and growth of our business.
