Our work ranges from making sure that our 150,000+ colleagues are paid on time to attracting brilliant talent to drive our strategy, to unlocking the skills and capability of our colleagues.

**What you'll do**

You will play a vital role in partnering with a Regional Stores Director in Retail to provide trusted advisory support and guidance. Working collaboratively with the cross-functional teams and centres of excellence, you develop and deliver strategic regional or divisional people plans that address specific functional people challenges. Your responsibilities will involve mobilising and delivering against these plans, driving a high-performance culture through coaching and influencing leaders, executing and embedding business change initiatives, and fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment.

Additionally, you will analyse people data to inform decision-making, track progress against targets and measures, and actively contribute to driving positive metrics related to engagement, talent, performance, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Your role will be essential in driving business performance and ensuring that the organisation is equipped with the right capabilities to succeed.

As a data-driven decision-maker, you excel in analysing and drawing insights from data to inform strategic decision-making. With your deep understanding of organisational design and effectiveness, you contribute to shaping effective business partnerships.

**Strengths you need to demonstrate**
