Your leadership will help bring coherence, energy, and strategic clarity to our many programmes and subsidiaries, and to galvanise internal and external stakeholders around shared purpose.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to lead in an organisation with deep roots, strong reputation, and a renewed ambition. As an executive, you will be entrusted to safeguard what has come before, while helping shape what comes next."

  • Lead workforce strategy, leadership development, capability building, and ER systems
  • Oversee corporate governance processes, legal advice, quality assurance, and compliance
