What they're looking for
- A business operator's mindset: you think and act like a business leader, not just a People specialist. You understand how organizational decisions impact business delivery and can navigate constraints and trade-offs
- You've led large-scale transformation — building operating models, redesigning processes, modernizing functions — by examining how work actually gets done. You can manage the gap between current state and future vision
- Strong ability to use data to benchmark performance, make informed decisions, and recommend solutions. You can read and interpret people analytics and operational metrics, and you spot patterns others miss
- Direct coaching and client support experience. You build trusted partnerships with leaders and help them navigate complexity. Experience working with business functions beyond HR is a plus
- Proven track record leading large-scale organizational or technology transformation. You navigate change and help it actually stick
- Ability to move fluidly across domains — strategic thinking, operational execution, organizational design, tactical problem-solving — and work effectively with multiple stakeholder groups
