- Leading ED&I submissions to internal or external surveys, benchmarks and any reporting (Investing in Ethnicity, Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gap Reporting etc and subsequent actions plans).
- As a leader within the Organisational Effectiveness team, ensuring team members are inspired, supported and challenged to be their best and perform effectively.
- Working closely with peers across the wider HR team who are leading on Culture & Behaviour Change, Leadership and Behavioural Development, Talent, Succession and Careers and more.
Requirements Include:
- A highly experienced subject matter expert in the field of ED&I, up to date with current thinking and external debates on ED&I, along with an in-depth and up-to-date understanding of relevant legislation (e.g. the Equality Act 2010) and codes of practice.
- Proven impact-led experience of leading and delivering on ED&I Strategy in organisations in medium-large organisations, ideally with blue collar employees.
- Significant experience in leading out, co-creating, delivering and embedding ED&I initiatives that facilitate change to policies, procedures, behaviours and ways of working.
- Exceptional leadership, stakeholder management, engagement, and influencing skills, comfortable engaging at all levels across the community up to Board level and with regulators, partners, and other stakeholders.
- Highly skilled written and verbal communicator who can create impact through a range of media/channels and with the ability to present compelling arguments and engage senior leaders in the agenda.
- Analytical and critical thinking, confident with data analysis, adept at working with data to inform decision making and an ability to present evidence in a compelling way.
- Commercially minded, results-oriented and self-motivated with excellent prioritisation skills and the adaptability to pivot as things change.
- The courage and social skill to effectively challenge issues of trust, behaviour and social dynamics.
