We are looking for a hands-on Talent Development professional to build and drive foundational development capabilities in a growing and evolving organisation.

This is a standalone individual contributor role for someone who is comfortable building from a relatively greenfield starting point. The role focuses on development strategy, framework-building, and capability development across different staff groups, rather than training administration, course coordination, or routine learning operations.

You will work closely with HR leadership to shape practical talent development structures that support organisational growth, capability-building, and future talent pipeline needs. This includes building career roadmaps, development pathways, manager-readiness support, and selected internship, scholarship, and traineeship frameworks, while also contributing to development-related process and systems design.

This role is best suited for someone with strong Learning & Development and/or Talent Development depth who has personally built frameworks and programmes in a medium to large organisation, and who is comfortable operating in a governance-heavy environment with evolving processes and system migration considerations.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build foundational talent development frameworks across different employee groups
• Develop career roadmaps and development pathways for varied staff populations
• Shape manager and leadership development structures to support readiness for broader people-management responsibilities
• Identify and recommend development interventions that strengthen capability-building across the organisation
• Build or refine onboarding-related development pathways beyond basic orientation where relevant
• Support the design of internship, scholarship, and traineeship frameworks as part of longer-term talent pipeline development
• Partner stakeholders on development-side policy, process, and governance alignment
• Contribute development input into HR systems and process improvement work, including future-state learning and development workflows
• Work closely with HR leadership to establish practical, scalable structures before broader talent-management expansion over time
• Operate as a hands-on standalone contributor who can build first, stabilise, and improve progressively

Requirements

• Degree in Human Resources, Business, Psychology, Organisational Development, Education, or a related discipline
• Around 8 to 10 years of relevant Learning & Development and/or Talent Development experience is strongly preferred
• Candidates with 6 to 7 years may be considered only if they demonstrate strong end-to-end builder depth, framework ownership, and credible complexity exposure
• Proven experience designing and implementing development frameworks, pathways, or programmes rather than mainly coordinating training operations
• Strong exposure to medium or large organisations with meaningful policy, stakeholder, and process complexity
• Demonstrated ability to work in low-structure or evolving environments and build from the ground up
• Experience partnering stakeholders on development strategy, process alignment, and practical implementation
• Experience with internship, scholarship, traineeship, leadership development, career development, or capability-building frameworks will be advantageous
• Exposure to HR systems, process improvement, or system migration work will be advantageous
• Workday exposure is a plus but not mandatory
• Background from education, healthcare, or other governance-heavy environments can be advantageous

Why Join
This role is ideal for a pragmatic development builder who enjoys creating structure, working through complexity, and putting in place strong foundational talent development practices that can scale over time.
