JOB TITLE: Strategic Workforce Transformation & Planning LeadJob Description
About this Opportunity
As a Strategic Workforce Transformation & Planning Lead, working with the Senior Manager, you’ll drive the development of our enterprise-wide Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) operating model, using data, insight and innovative thinking to influence strategic decisions and support the Group’s long-term direction. This is a critical and highly visible role that blends operating model design, strategic planning, data-led insight and cross-functional collaboration.
We’re redesigning Strategic Workforce Planning so it becomes an assured, data‑driven input to our biggest decisions. You’ll build and embed an enterprise SWP operating framework, linking financial planning, talent strategy and organisational design, and grow capability across business units.
What you’ll do
Bring market & tech intelligence inside: Use external labour market insight, scenario modelling and predictive analytics to anticipate workforce risk and inform investment choices.
Advise senior leaders: Provide clear recommendations and constructive challenge to ExCo‑1 stakeholders on build/buy/partner strategies and location planning.
Build capability at scale: Develop training and coaching, increasing confidence in SWP tooling, data standards and methodologies across the Group.
Design & embed the framework: Roll out governance, standards and cadences (risk, data quality, change control) so workforce plans are reliable and decision‑ready.
