• A solid understanding of performance management and the confidence to support managers through challenging performance and people issues.
• Commercially minded, with an interest in understanding how the business operates and connecting people decisions to commercial outcomes.
• Analytical and comfortable using data to understand problems, challenge assumptions and support better decision-making.
• Strong judgement, with the ability to balance empathy for individuals with what is right for the team and wider organisation.
• Comfortable operating within fast-moving, ambitious and sometimes ambiguous environments.
• Collaborative and low ego, while confident enough to challenge leaders constructively when required.
