About Emperor
Emperor is a leading, full service corporate communications agency. Proudly independent and with a long heritage of nearly 30 years we are well known in the world of reporting but now in London over 50% of our work is in other areas. These include brand, employee engagement, campaigns, digital (including websites) and moving image and content production. We have a wide range of mainly B2B clients ranging from large FTSE 100 clients to smaller clients such as regional law firms.
What makes Emperor a great place to work springs from the fact that we are employee-owned. This means employees have a strong voice in how we are run. We have retained our commitment to hybrid working and flexible working hours. Our culture is fair and based on trust, with a good work and home balance.
The Role
At Emperor, we're building the next generation of talent, leaders, and specialists who will drive our future success.
We're looking for a Learning & Inclusion Partner to lead our approach to learning, capability, engagement and inclusion, helping us create a high-performing, values-led organisation where everyone has the opportunity to grow.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape how learning happens across Emperor, from developing emerging talent and future leaders, to building specialist expertise and strengthening leadership capability. You'll play a key role in translating our People Strategy into meaningful experiences that improve performance, progression, engagement and retention.
