We are investing in our people agenda.
The skills and capabilities our business needs are evolving, and we want to make sure we are building the right foundations for the future.
That means bringing in someone who will lead our approach to talent, learning and development and shaping what comes next.
You will work across all our locations, partner directly with senior stakeholders, and have the space to build frameworks, programmes and processes that make a lasting difference to how our people grow and perform.
If you want a role where your impact is visible and your ideas are heard, this is it.
THE ROLE
As Talent & Development Manager, you will lead the Club's approach to organisational capability, learning and development, and talent management.
You will own the systems and processes that underpin how we attract, develop and retain talented people and you will use data, insight and constructive challenge to help the business make better decisions about its people.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Organisational capability and skills development; identifying what the business needs, building plans to close gaps, and designing frameworks that support growth across a global workforce.
- Learning and development; owning end-to-end L&D provision, leading on LMS adoption and optimisation, and bringing genuine digital fluency to how learning is designed and delivered, including through AI-assisted tools.
- Talent management and succession; leading our approach to performance and talent processes, high-potential identification, succession planning and career pathways.
- Recruitment process ownership; taking full accountability for the quality and continuous improvement of our recruitment processes and ATS, with delivery shared across the HR team.
- Global business partnering; working closely with Directors, Heads of Department and HR colleagues across all locations to influence decisions and drive better outcomes.
- WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Proven experience in a senior talent management and/or L&D role designing and implementing programmes and frameworks.
- A strategic perspective on organisational capability: the ability to identify what skills a business needs and build credible, practical plans to develop them.
- Strong LMS experience and digital learning fluency, with hands‑on experience of AI and technology tools in an L&D or talent context.
- The curiosity and judgement to evaluate emerging tools and the confidence to lead their adoption where appropriate.
- Experience working in or with multi-site or international organisations, navigating different cultural contexts effectively.
- A track record of influencing and challenging senior stakeholders constructively and driving better outcomes.
- Strong use of data and HR metrics to inform recommendations and make the case for change.
- A self‑motivated, ownership‑focused approach.
Experience in financial services or a regulated environment is desirable but not essential.
CIPD qualification at Level 5 or above is welcome but not a requirement - we are more interested in what you have done than what you hold.
Candidates must be eligible to work in the UK.
