Operations & IT Global Early Careers Partner APAC

The Operations & IT Strategy has Talent and Development at its heart. Our Early Careers programmes, and the broader Early Careers population joining Operations & IT continue to strengthen our diversity and ensure we have the right skills for the future. We are now looking for a hard-working and confident individual to join our Operations & IT Early Careers team. The APAC region is critical to the future strategic growth of both Operations and Global IT; harnessing the power of early career's talent will be key to accelerating what differentiates us and building a balanced talent pipeline – utilising a broad range of early careers solutions (e.g. summer internships, post-graduate study programs, direct hire pipelining from academia). In this role, you will be responsible for driving the development and delivery of effective early careers solutions across the APAC region, which align to the future needs of the local strategic workforce plans and overall talent plans. You will partner with a range of regional/local team members to develop suitable action plans and ensure impactful delivery against agreed priorities (incl. HRDs, HRBPs, TAq Partners, T&D Partners, program owners, key business stakeholders). In addition, you will be the Global Operations & IT SME on Work Placements (so programs where students join us for periods of time whilst studying), making sure we follow and develop standard process consistently globally, provide great quality opportunities that support our areas of growth and critical skills and develop processes to support the conversion of identified talents into permanent roles. Lastly, you will work closely with your colleagues within the Ops and IT Early Careers Team to build an effective team spirit; bringing thought leadership, supporting the delivery of global team priorities, forming the team's understanding of the APAC region and supporting each other's growth. There are many collaborators across the Early Careers community – having strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a matrix are very important to this role; as you will be required to collaborate and influence inside and outside of AZ.
