About the Capability Management team

You will join our Capability Management team within the People (HR) department. We are accountable for onboarding, leadership and specialist development, strategic workforce planning, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), employee engagement, and performance management. We work closely with our lines of business and colleagues across People to translate business priorities into practical initiatives that build the capabilities KMD needs today and in the future.

Working closely with business leaders and People teams, you will ensure our learning programs and offerings align with organizational goals, reinforce key competencies, and foster a thriving leadership culture. Your primary focus will be designing leadership development frameworks and taking end-to-end ownership of program implementation and delivery. Facilitation is a supporting part of the role, rather than its main focus.

Program design & delivery

• Own the end-to-end design, implementation, and delivery of leadership development programs, translating frameworks into practical learning journeys and coordinating internal experts and external providers.

• Ensure robust identification, assessment, and development of critical leadership talent and successors.

Assessment tools & development
