This is an exciting opportunity to join the Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) team in our People and Places function (P&P).

* Work collaboratively with the Centres of Excellence to inform and design recruitment, talent management, and reskilling plans, driving the Group's overall Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and contributing to the development of a skills-based organisation.
* Work closely with the Future Workplace team to develop insight which ensures LBG has a presence in key locations for talent now and in the future.
* Continually focus on your own development to ensure that you're working at your best.
* Take an active interest in the external development in Strategic Workforce Planning models and Talent Market Insights to develop and support the delivery of our strategy.
What you'll need
* Strategic Thinking: Ability to problem solve, generate hypotheses, structure problems, and generate robust conclusions and strategic objectives.
* Communication & Storytelling: Excellent written and verbal communication, especially experience of producing written outputs for a senior audience.
* Data Analytics: Ability to review and perform good quality analysis, including resourcefulness in sourcing and validating data to present recommendations.
* Stakeholder management: Using a commercial understanding and excellent communication skills to develop and maintain positive relationships with a range of people and business areas.
