Senior People Capability Partner

The Opportunity

This is a senior people-partnering role — an evolution of the traditional HR business partner model, built around how Marcura creates value for its customers. You will act as a true strategic partner to a business domain, spending the majority of your time embedded in that area while also driving group-wide talent initiatives.

The role sits at the intersection of business strategy and people capability. You will carry the judgement and relationship work that connects People Operations and the Capability Innovation Centres of Excellence (CoEs) to deliver Marcuras Talent Strategy.

What Youll Do

Domain Partnering

●  Partner with domain leadership on capability, workforce and organisation needs — approximately 70% functional capability work, 30% embedded group talent initiatives.

●  Connect the domain people plan to the group workforce model and value-creation plan.

Skills, Talent & Careers

●  Engage with the Skills & Capability Lead to define and land the Skills Taxonomy for the group and your partnered domain.

Organisation Design & Change

●  Run organisation design and capability build in the domain, and act on org-health signals to lead change.

●  Support and challenge organisation-design decisions, bringing alternatives and organisational context.

Cross-function Collaboration

Key Capabilities
