You will translate business direction into clear People and Culture priorities, roadmaps, and actions that strengthen both long-term capability and day-to-day operational excellence. You will support and lead change, strengthen engagement, and help create the conditions for sustainable results. You will also collaborate closely with union representatives and key stakeholders to build trust, ensure sound labor relations, and find solutions that support both people growth and business needs. As a management team member you are expected to learn and contribute on all domains across the complexity of the operation, and assume collective responsibility for business performance.
