Senior Manager, Workforce Strategy & Planning

Set and maintain the principles for how work is grouped and structured (spans and layers, team boundaries, centralised vs embedded, capability against value streams), and the governance that tests org design decisions consistently. Act as design consult on proposed structural change.

Evolve and govern the enterprise architecture for internal mobility, succession, performance and talent review, setting the standards and definitions; delivery executed through People Partnering and Talent teams, with dedicated PMO support.

Building the function Supported by the GM, build SLT/ELT support for SWP, coach People Partnering and Talent colleagues in the method, and make the evidence-based case at 12 months for pillar resourcing and the enduring workforce analytics model.

Solid experience in strategic workforce planning in a complex organisation, with genuine exposure to building a capability rather than maintaining an established one.

Experience owning multi-year supply and demand forecasting, including the capability taxonomy, data definitions and scenario modelling beneath it, and the judgement to recognise when a model is being asked to carry more than it can.

Experience influencing at senior leadership and executive level, with the confidence to hold a position and the credibility to have the recommendation land.

Sound organisation design judgement at enterprise level – spans and layers, team boundaries, how capability is organised – and the discipline to set principles and hold them under pressure from well-argued exceptions.

A genuine willingness to be hands-on.

Experience delivering through teams the role does not manage, and an interest in coaching People Partnering and Talent colleagues in the method.

A genuine interest in technology, AI and building something.
