You will guide them in developing strategic people plans, embedding new operational models within your portfolios and providing day-to-day high level generalist HR advice and support.

You'll also be responsible for:

• Working with each of your portfolio's to deeply understand their business group and the challenges that they face to help contribute to their strategy, direction, and leadership
• Diagnosing future people and capability requirements and help build a forward workforce plan for the Group.
• Providing expert advice for our GM's/RD's when managing difficult issues or change processes
