We are looking for a Talent Development Business Partner VP to drive impactful change within a global asset manager. This newly created role offers the opportunity to shape and implement talent strategies, focusing on creating high-performing teams, succession planning, and long-term development across the organisation.

2. Succession & Development: Lead the development of succession planning frameworks, identifying potential skill gaps and ensuring future leadership is cultivated from within.
3. Leadership Collaboration: Partner with senior leadership (including the CFO and COO) to challenge existing talent practices, providing actionable insights to optimise performance and development at all levels.
4. Innovation in Talent Tools: Work closely with the wider talent team to introduce new assessment tools, development programs, and frameworks that elevate team performance.
5. Global Focus: Deliver talent solutions that impact the entire organisation, however there will be a strong focus on the UK-based workforce.

The Ideal Candidate:

1. Strong background in talent management, organisational development, or a related field within financial services or consulting.
2. Expertise in succession planning, leadership development, and creating scalable talent strategies.
3. Strong data and analytical capabilities, able to assess performance, identify gaps, and implement data-driven strategies.
4. Excellent ability to influence and consult with senior leadership to drive business-focused talent outcomes.
5. A hands-on, pragmatic approach to building talent solutions, focusing on execution and measurable results.

This is a highly visible role where you’ll have the opportunity to make a significant impact on talent development at a global scale. In addition to a competitive salary and benefits package, you’ll be part of a dynamic team, shaping the future of talent strategy in a forward-thinking organisation. If you’re passionate about building and refining talent strategies that drive performance and create meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.
