On behalf of a partner company, Nordic Investin is looking for a Head of Talent and People Development. You want to build a talent system leaders actually use when making appointments, succession decisions and capability investments. You will define the approach, lead critical programmes and help senior leaders make sharper decisions about capability, succession and development across the organisation. Advice should help leaders act, strengthen organisational trust and remain consistent when pressure or competing priorities increase. Commitments should be followed through and difficult messages should remain clear and respectful. This is a leadership role with responsibility for direction, governance and the capability of others. You will create enough structure for teams to move independently while stepping into detail when risk or ambiguity demands it. What you will do

Set strategy for talent, succession and leadership development. Lead enterprise talent reviews and critical role planning. Build practical leadership and specialist development pathways. Create governance for assessment, mobility and development investment. Partner with executives on succession risk and capability gaps. Measure programme impact and improve the portfolio over time. What you will bring

Extensive talent management or people development experience. Evidence of designing organisation wide frameworks. Ability to connect capability decisions with business strategy. Experience leading programmes, partners or a small team. Experience that would add value

Assessment methodology and executive development. International mobility or global talent processes. Organisation design or strategic workforce planning. A background that can succeed here

You may have developed through learning, talent, HR business partnering or consulting. What makes the opportunity interesting

This role offers a genuine platform to shape leadership depth and future capability. You will work with visible sponsorship and questions that matter to the organisation well beyond the next annual cycle. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time. You do not need every optional credential if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into the profession and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
