The Executive Assistant to the Chief People Officer (CPO) is a trusted strategic partner who enables the effectiveness of the CPO and supports the smooth operation of the global People organisation. Anticipating needs, exercising sound judgement, and driving execution are central to success in this role.
Why This Role?
This role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the Chief People Officer, supporting strategic People priorities, organisational transformation, talent and leadership initiatives, and the effective operation of a global People organisation. For an ambitious, high-energy self-starter, it provides an exceptional opportunity to broaden People experience while leading high-visibility initiatives with meaningful business impact.

- Coordinate governance processes, prepare executive materials, own and track actions through to closure, and support leadership forums, town halls, and People leadership meetings, proactively following up so nothing slips.
- Leverage Microsoft 365 and AI tools, including Copilot, to improve productivity, simplify administration, and enhance executive effectiveness, actively seeking smarter, faster ways of working.
-
Act as force multiplier for the CPO by owning and delivering discrete projects and strategic initiatives end-to-end, including scoping, planning, stakeholder coordination, milestone tracking, and delivering against agreed timelines with minimal oversight.

- A proactive, high-energy self-starter who anticipates needs, identifies issues early, and acts decisively without waiting to be asked, bringing positive energy and momentum to the CPO’s office.
- Demonstrated ability to own projects and initiatives independently, from planning through to on-time delivery, with minimal supervision.
