Partnering closely with the Talent & Culture Director, you will ensure that the company’s approach to values, succession, and talent management is deeply integrated into day-to-day operations, creating a culture where people can perform, grow, and thrive.

You will be comfortable operating at pace, leading through ambiguity, and influencing senior stakeholders in a matrixed, international environment.

Above all, you will bring a values-led approach – someone who combines strategic clarity with empathy, resilience, and a genuine belief in the power of people to drive business success. The role is UK-based, with flexibility to work remotely and regular travel to London and European sites. In return, you will join an organisation of circa 1000FTE  that is evolving with purpose and ambition, offering the opportunity to make a lasting impact on its people, culture, and performance.
