  • Coach and challenge senior leaders across all levels to develop leadership capability and succession depth across critical roles.

  • Attract top talent by building a compelling employer brand and designing a competitive and commercially aligned total rewards strategy across markets.
  • Ensure compliance with employment law and regulations across jurisdictions. Define and steward our culture and values, ensuring alignment, consistency and behavioural clarity across all markets.

Requirements

  • Deep knowledge of compensation, talent acquisition, organisational development, change management, and employment law.

  • Above all, you bring energy, urgency and ownership – the drive to keep Nory scaling fast without losing focus or culture.
