Leadership Development Leader

  • Type: Permanent
  • Location: UK , Hybrid Working with 2 days a week on-site/travelling
  • Reference: LDL

We are looking for a dynamic Leadership Development Leader to join our client’s retail division and spearhead the enhancement of leadership skills throughout the organisation. This role is both strategic and hands-on, playing a pivotal role in shaping the leadership culture within the company.

Collaborating closely with senior leaders and HR business partners, you will identify and define leadership development needs. Given the company’s lack of previous investment in this area, this position offers the chance to take complete ownership of the future strategy.

With a solid background in leadership development and a strong focus on providing exceptional service, you will be dedicated to meeting the needs of your “customers.” You will bring specialized knowledge and serve as a thought leader in leadership and talent best practices and theories. Your skill set should showcase your expertise in leadership development and team management, ideally gained in a fast-paced, consumer-centric, multi-site environment.

As a skilled influencer, you will excel at presenting ideas at the board level and possess sound project management abilities. Leading a team of 7, including 3 direct reports, necessitates experience in coaching and team leadership.

Given the significant changes underway in the business, the ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to navigate and lead through this evolving landscape with innovation and creativity. If you are a resilient and adaptable leader with a passion for driving change and developing leadership capabilities, we invite you to apply for this exciting opportunity.

This role offers a hybrid working model with approximately 2 days of travel per week to various national locations.

Debbie worked with me on the search for a Group HR Director. From the initial briefing to the final candidate interviews the process was clear, structured, quick and highly professional. One of Debbie's key strengths is to really understand the needs of her customers. And this came through in the strength of the short list of candidates she delivered. Overall a great customer experience and hence I can only recommend Varna HR Resourcing unreservedly.
