The Company

Our client is a leading professional services organisation with a strong national presence and global connectivity, known for partnering with some of the country's most complex and high-profile businesses.

Operating in a fast-paced, highly matrixed environment, the firm continues to evolve how it delivers value to clients, with a strong focus on technology, data, and AI-enabled ways of working. As part of this, there is a growing emphasis on how work is structured, how capability is deployed, and how the workforce adapts to ongoing change.

With a clear strategic agenda and strong leadership sponsorship, the organisation is investing in its workforce strategy and operating model, creating a unique opportunity to shape how work is designed and delivered into the future.

The Opportunity

This is a newly created, high-impact  function, working at the intersection of business strategy, workforce planning, organisational design, and transformation. The core focus of the role is to design and embed a scalable strategic workforce planning approach across the business, while leading initiatives that reshape how work is performed in response to AI, automation, and evolving client needs.

A key part of the role will involve breaking down existing workflows across different business areas, identifying opportunities for automation or simplification, and redesigning roles, structures, and capability models to align with future requirements. Alongside this, you will play a central role in leading organisation design initiatives, ensuring that structures, roles, and governance frameworks are aligned to strategic priorities and enable effective execution at scale.

This role will also partner closely with analytics, talent, and learning teams to translate workforce insights into practical action, including reskilling, redeployment, and capability uplift across the business.

Key areas of focus include:

• Designing and embedding a firm-wide strategic workforce planning methodology
• Leading organisation design initiatives aligned to evolving operating models
• Assessing the impact of AI and automation on roles, workflows, and workforce composition
• Facilitating workshops with business leaders to deconstruct work and redesign processes
• Building practical frameworks, playbooks, and tools to support workforce and work design
• Identifying capability gaps and partnering on reskilling and workforce transition strategies
• Developing workforce insights, reporting, and scenario modelling to inform decision-making
• Supporting the evolution of career architecture and internal mobility frameworks

About You

You bring a blend of strategic thinking and practical delivery, with experience operating in complex environments where workforce, operating model, and business strategy intersect. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity and building from the ground up, with the ability to take concepts and translate them into structured, actionable outcomes. You are equally confident facilitating workshops, influencing senior stakeholders, and working hands-on to deliver meaningful change.

You are naturally curious about how technology is reshaping work and are motivated by the opportunity to play a role in designing what the future workforce looks like.

You will ideally bring:

• Experience in strategic workforce planning, workforce transformation, or workforce strategy
• Exposure to organisational design, operating models, or role design
• A background in consulting, transformation, or enterprise HR strategy roles
• Strong facilitation and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence without authority
• High data literacy, with experience interpreting insights and supporting data-led decisions
• End-to-end transformation or program delivery experience
• Experience in large, complex, matrixed organisations
• Exposure to AI, automation, or technology-enabled workforce change is highly regarded

This role is well suited to someone from a consulting or enterprise environment looking to step into a role with broader ownership and direct impact on workforce strategy at scale.
