- Assist in preparing feedback and training to CSC’s business areas based on relevant data and observations.
- Assist in developing training within the GC Team.

You will work collaboratively with other members of the GC Team to support knowledge sharing and professional development, to work on matters that cross multiple functional areas, and to support the provision of holistic services by the team.

Specific duties, deliverables and reporting may vary from time to time dependent on each functional team and with consideration to business needs and priorities. Key objectives and measurements will be captured in the Performance & Development planning cycle, established annually and adapted as needed.
