Building future workforce impact

Our Organisational Development team is evolving, and we are making an investment in a cohesive, future‑focused Organisational Development capability agenda to support organisational performance, workforce sustainability, and long‑term impact.

As part of this exciting change, we are seeking three Organisational Development Managers to work as a connected OD cohort. Each role holds clear ownership of a distinct portfolio, with accountability for shaping direction, building maturity, and delivering impact in their specialist domain, while collectively contributing to an integrated, organisational capability agenda.

These roles are suited to experienced OD practitioners who are comfortable owning their space end‑to‑end. From diagnosing needs and setting strategy, through to delivery, and embedment. Success in these roles requires confidence operating in complex environments during times of change, and the ability to influence senior leaders while maintaining practical, delivery‑focused discipline.
