Job Description

We're proud to be partnering with a globally recognised, family-owned business to recruit a high-impact Organisation & People Lead.



This pivotal role sits at the heart of how the business operates - helping leadership design, evolve, and govern an organisation fit for long-term growth.



This is more than a governance role. It's about building trust, creating clarity, and enabling effective, joined-up decision-making. You'll work in close partnership with leadership and teams to simplify complexity, evolve structures and people practices that drive meaningful business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

------------------------


As a trusted partner, you will:


Act as a visible custodian of the Organisation and People pillars of the Operating Model - ensuring they are consistently applied across the business and continually evolve and improve. Monitor alignment to these principles while empowering leaders to own day-to-day accountability. Shape and review organisational changes, helping teams design effective structures that cut across silos, geographies, and functions. Provide constructive challenge and support to ensure good governance and rigorous debate around change - balancing business needs with long-term objectives. Surface system-wide risks and opportunities, connecting the dots across functions to reduce complexity and improve performance.

You'll also play a lead role in the implementation of a new global Human Capital Management (HCM) System.



This includes:


Offering organisational insight and change expertise to shape the system's discovery, design, and delivery. Ensuring the system reflects and supports the company's operating model, including clarity on role profiles, recruitment, learning, and succession planning. Collaborating closely with project leads and stakeholders to guide change management and governance workstreams.

Candidate requirements

--------------------------


We're looking for someone who brings both strategic insight and hands-on credibility - someone who can partner, influence, and make things happen.



You'll have:


Significant experience in organisation design, ideally in a complex or global business environment. A systems-thinking mindset, with the ability to see the big picture, connect interdependencies, and keep people at the centre of transformation. Demonstrated success influencing stakeholders and driving adoption of new ways of working. A strong process orientation, with experience of identifying inefficiencies and driving improvements through process design, simplification, and optimisation. High emotional intelligence, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to build trust and navigate ambiguity. A collaborative, resilient, and solutions-focussed approach.

We welcome candidates from diverse Organisation Design, HR, or operational leadership backgrounds. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a truly exceptional business - and help make its ambition real through its people and structure.
