• Change Leadership: Serve as an implementation lead and thought partner to the SVP and Retail People Partners on major change efforts that impact the retail workforce.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Collaborate with cluster leaders, HR business partners, and functional teams to ensure cross-regional alignment and overcome execution challenges.
• Data-Driven Planning: Partner with People Analytics and regional HR teams to interpret workforce data and insights, informing planning and course correction where needed.
• Measurement & Adaptation: Track initiative outcomes, measure impact, and iterate based on results and feedback to drive continuous improvement.
• Event Design & Facilitation: Design and lead engaging people events—including workshops, leadership summits, and conferences—that promote innovation and capability building in the retail community.
• Knowledge Sharing: Lead post-initiative reviews to document learnings, build best practices, and strengthen organisational knowledge.
• SVP Project Support: Provide ad hoc project support to the SVP, including coordination, keeping an overview of all initiatives and deliverables for the SVP, presentation development, and internal communications.
