  • Identify skill gaps and grow the team accordingly. Plan for the team's future needs and onboard new researchers effectively.
As a People Manager (40% capacity):
  • Mentorship and Coaching: Act as a mentor to researchers, offering guidance, feedback, and support. Encourage continuous learning and professional growth.
  • Career Development: Assist in defining career goals and creating growth opportunities. Develop clear skills matrices and evaluation frameworks for professional development.
