How do you manage transformation in an era of constant, disruptive change?We believe that for transitions to be successful, we must reach the hearts and minds of employees to bring them along the journey, with an equal mix of art and science. The science consists of the processes, tools and behaviour analytics to reach the right person with the right experience at the right time.The art is the storytelling and culture shaping expertise that accelerates and amplifies that journey and makes it stick. Together, they create a compelling experience that shifts mindsets and behaviours to drive long-term impact.

Our work shapes three critical elements of the employee experience:

Culture: Activating new ways of working to support the organisation’s core purpose

Change: Leading the organisation through the upheaval and uncertainty of transformation

Communications: Engaging and connecting employees in a modern, employee-centric way.

  • Drive business development, including new business, organic growth with existing clients, prospecting, and developing new service offerings that expand the solutions we bring to clients.
  • Talent development for colleagues whom you manage directly or indirectly; serving as a role model and champion for development beyond the immediate team.
  • Maintain strong external visibility by speaking at events, authoring thought leadership, contributing to marketing efforts and identifying opportunities to increase our profile.

In addition to the above, you will play a defining role in major pieces of business and work with senior leaders, with a focus on helping clients evolve their employee experience during transformational change. You will be the main point of contact with clients and set the tone for staff in terms of client servicing expectations.
