About you

You're someone who thrives in a fast-paced, commercial environment and knows how to connect people strategy with business outcomes. You bring a strong background in talent management, organisational development, and change leadership, and you're comfortable navigating ambiguity and leading through transformation.

Your ability to influence senior stakeholders, coach leaders, and collaborate across functions sets you apart. You're analytical, insightful, and confident using data to tell a story and drive impact. You communicate with clarity and purpose, and you design tools and resources that are not only engaging but also practical and scalable.

Most importantly, you act with integrity, build trust, and bring a thoughtful, inclusive approach to everything you do. Your work will directly influence leadership capability, workforce effectiveness, and business performance.

Working for us is fun and fast-paced, and we are seeking top talent to take us where we want to go. BOQ Group people are easy to spot. They're smart, energetic, full of ideas and passionate about what they do. If this sounds like you and you're looking to join a multi-brand on the forefront of financial services, we'd love to chat
