- Proven ability to build trusted relationships with managers and influence outcomes.

- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage and prioritise multiple workstreams.

- Clear and concise communicator, both written and verbal.

- Ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and sound judgement.

Bonus points:

- Experience supporting customer-facing or fast-scaling teams.

- Familiarity with performance management systems like Lattice or HRIS tools like Workday.

- Experience with manager enablement or training programs.

- Strong interest in building scalable People processes and improving operational efficiency.

What success looks like:

- Performance processes, promotions, and check-in cycles run smoothly and predictably, with strong logistics support.

- Risks and underperformance are surfaced early, with thoughtful escalation to senior PBPs.

- You are recognised by managers and PBPs as a trusted, solutions-oriented partner.
