Talent Performance & Development Manager

About the Position

Talent Performance & Development Manager

At Accesa, we believe that people’s growth and business performance belong together. We’re looking for a Talent Performance & Development Manager who can turn this belief into practical, consistent ways to assess, develop, and mobilize talent across our organization.

This is an opportunity to shape how we manage performance, develop future leaders, build critical skills, and shape career paths. You’ll lead our Talent & Performance and Learning & Development teams, working closely with business leaders and colleagues across the People Office to connect business priorities with the capabilities needed to deliver them.

Responsibilities

• Connect talent priorities with business strategy. Translate business goals and workforce challenges into clear priorities for performance, learning, and development.
• Shape how performance is managed. Own and evolve our approach to objective setting, continuous feedback, performance assessment, calibration, and improvement planning, helping managers make fair, well-informed decisions.
• Make talent insights actionable. Use data and organizational insight to identify critical capabilities, high performers, emerging talent, and areas of vulnerability, guiding development and workforce decisions.
• Build succession and career opportunities. Establish succession practices, career pathways, and progression criteria that strengthen business continuity, support promotions, and enable internal mobility.
• Focus development where it matters most. Guide learning, leadership, and team development towards current capability gaps and future business needs, evaluating the impact of these investments.
• Strengthen managers’ people leadership. Act as a trusted advisor to middle and senior management, providing practical tools, constructive challenge, and guidance on performance, talent, and development.
• Lead a team of experts. Coach and develop autonomous specialists, set clear priorities, and balance recurring talent cycles with advisory work and strategic initiatives.
• Ensure legal, compliance, and data protection in talent practices. Ensure policies, processes, and tools meet applicable legal, GDPR, confidentiality, and information-security requirements, in partnership with Legal, Data Protection, and Information Security. Establish clear rules for decisions, approvals, and employee-data access, retention, and reporting.
• Build connected, scalable people practices. Partner across the People Office to align talent processes with reward, job architecture, and the employee lifecycle. Improve HR technology, automation, and process governance to deliver effective, accessible, and consistent practices.

Requirements

• Substantial experience across Talent Management, Performance Management, and Learning & Development, including designing and implementing organization-wide frameworks and processes.
• Experience leading specialist teams and delivering complex initiatives with stakeholders across multiple functions.
• Strong business understanding and the ability to translate organizational challenges into practical talent and capability solutions.
• A consultative approach, with the confidence to challenge constructively, influence senior stakeholders, and strengthen managers’ accountability for people decisions.
• Confidence working with people data to identify patterns, guide decisions, and evaluate outcomes.
• Experience leading change and improving adoption, supported by clear communication and strong facilitation skills.
• Sound judgment in handling sensitive information and embedding fairness, confidentiality, and governance into people practices.
• A relevant degree in Organisational Psychology, Business, or a related field.

We Offer

• Physical Wellbeing: Our wellbeing program includes medical benefits, gym support, and personalized fitness options for an active lifestyle, complemented by team events and the Healthy Habits Club.
• Work-Life Fusion: In very dynamic industries such as IT, the line between our professional and personal lives can quickly become blurred. Having a one-size-fits-one approach gives us the flexibility to define the work-life dynamic that works for us.
• Emotional Wellbeing: We believe that to maintain our overall health, we need to invest in our mental wellbeing just as much as we do in our physical health, social connections, or in achieving work-life balance.
• Social Wellbeing: As a growing community in a hybrid environment, we want to ensure we remain connected not just by the great work we do every day but through our passions and interests.
