About this opportunity

You’ll combine workforce insight, skills intelligence, emerging technology and market trends to identify skills gaps, define future priorities and turn insight into targeted action.
We’re looking for someone who is curious, strategic and commercially minded, with the confidence to influence senior leaders and connect business priorities with workforce capability. Your experience could come from learning and development, strategy, transformation, consulting, digital, talent, organisational development or operations.
Don't just respond to the future. Help create it.
The world of work is changing rapidly. New technologies, evolving customer expectations and emerging skills are reshaping roles and how work gets done.
To stay ahead, we need to understand not only the skills we need today, but those that will drive our success tomorrow.
You’ll bring an external perspective and fresh thinking, connecting workforce insights, market trends and emerging technologies to spot opportunities, challenge conventional thinking and turn ideas into action.
Because organisations that succeed tomorrow won’t just react to change. They’ll prepare for it.
What makes this role different?
This isn’t a traditional learning role. As a Skills Development Partner, you’ll work strategically with leaders to understand current and future skills needs across some of our most important workforce populations.
Using skills intelligence, workforce data, assessment insights and external trends, you’ll help identify capability gaps and shape meaningful interventions that build future workforce readiness.
