You will set the frameworks by which our leaders and People Partners tackle structural issues to enable us to work at our best. This could range from looking at how we best immerse our new employees in Kaluza life, to mapping out a missing skill-set across the business, to assessing the impact of our job levelling on how we operate and make decisions. We have a diverse range of roles within Kaluza: from software engineering, to data science, through to client-facing sales teams, so you must be comfortable working with a wide range of stakeholder styles, levels, and requirements.

To be successful in this role, you must have: Deep knowledge of organisational and people development practices. A consultative approach which gets to the root of issues, as well as the ability to propose and deliver forward-thinking solutions. Proven experience of being able to navigate organisational complexity, ideally within a global business. Ability to constructively assess the effectiveness of our current practices, using data and insight to inform those assessments. Understanding of behavioural science and what levers we can use to drive a culture of talent development and performance. Ability to operate self-sufficiently and manage a diverse workload. Ability to manage a budget and make smart commercial decisions on where we invest in people development initiatives. Ideally you will also have: Experience of management consulting from a professional services firm Worked in a B2B software business Why might this role not suit me? We are a small, but highly focused team which means we’re looking for someone who enjoys connection and collaboration, but can operate confidently and relatively independently as a subject-matter-expert. We are going through a period of significant evolution which is exciting and with it brings lots of opportunity and challenging work, which is not for everyone. To be successful in this role, you will be excellent at operating in ambiguous, changing environments and get enjoyment from making the complex, simple. |
