A proven leader, the Head of HR will have the confidence, stature, and executive presence to not only lead the HR function but also set an impressive tone as a mentor and coach to their peers on the leadership team. Overall, this role needs a passionate head of HR with strong EQ and the leadership skills to build a culture with a high level of employee engagement across a diverse workforce. Furthermore, we are looking for him or her to step outside of the traditional boundaries of HR and make a robust strategic contribution in enabling the company to continue to innovate and reinvent the sector it operates in.
