• Bringing together Group talent data and turning it into clear insight, focusing on the "so what" so leaders can make confident, data-led decisions about talent and succession.

• Bringing new ideas to the table through external research and close relationships with our businesses, leading initiatives that improve what it feels like to work here.

• Partnering with HR Business Partners and our business units to deliver our Group HR strategy, and managing key third-party relationships to ensure consistency and value.
