- Collaborating across teams to drive practical and effective people solutions and programs, including making strategic recommendations that will deliver value to the organisation across the entire employee lifecycle.
- Undertaking research and benchmarking including using data and metrics to enable evidence-based recommendations and fit-for-purpose solutions.
- Engaging across NESA to define workforce needs, challenges and opportunities, provide coaching and support including capability and leadership uplift, especially regarding engagement, retention and recognition.
- Leading the design and delivery of talent management and succession planning, equity, inclusion and belonging strategies.
- Leveraging new and emerging technology for the design and delivery of programs, initiatives and projects within established timeframes and budgets.
- Leading and managing team members, including work planning, role clarity, coaching, mentoring and professional development.
