- Build strong relationships with senior leaders and managers, influencing decisions and supporting people strategy.

- Work with operational and HR teams to identify people-related risks, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.
- Coach and support managers and HR colleagues to help embed sustainable change across the organisation.
