  • Breadth across strategic and operational P&C delivery, including employment relations
  • A pragmatic, commercial approach combined with strong emotional intelligence
  • Comfort working in evolving environments, shaping structure while delivering outcomes

This is a genuinely exciting time to join Switched On Group. You'll help shape the future P&C function and contribute to the integration of two organisations, with support from a seasoned, high-expectation coach as your leader.
