• Working with leaders to identify the priority skills and capabilities the business needs now and in the future, assessing capability gaps and contributing to workforce plans and capability pipelines.
• Developing skills-based development pathways, resources and guidance that help ASOSers grow their capabilities and careers.
• Enhancing internal mobility and career pathways to retain talent and enable employee growth, including supporting the pilot of an internal opportunity marketplace.
• Evolving our approach to performance management and career development and overseeing the annual performance cycle.
