Group Advisor – Talent 

• An exciting opportunity to be a part of Rio Tinto's global HR Transformation
• Brisbane, Perth, Montreal or Salt Lake City locations 

 Rio Tinto strives to be an industry leader in the mining and metals sector. As an industry facing significant people challenges including skills shortages, working in emerging regions and attraction and retention issues, Rio Tinto is committed to the development and evolution of a talent management strategy focused on strong and effective outcomes aligned to support the business needs. The Group is currently undergoing a complete transformation of the HR operating model, with the aim of driving more sustainable, effective and efficient processes across the spectrum of human resources, and talent management forms a key part of this transformational work moving forward.

 

As the Group Advisor Talent, your key focus is to ensure that Rio Tinto has an effective and holistic talent strategy in place. In order to achieve this, you will be the process owner for talent, and will work closely with the HR Transformation teams on the development and embedment of end-to-end talent processes, ensuring that these are aligned with our future state process, while being relevant and fit for purpose for our business.

Moving forward into an operational steady state, as the process owner, you will be responsible for the following:

• Ensuring operational capability exists within the model across the organisation and that the work is being carried out by the right people, in the right locations.
• Translation of Group HR strategy into relevant functional strategies and plans, establishing and managing appropriate standards, designing and deploying talent programs and the management of annual processes. 
• Designing and performance management of end-to-end talent management processes and the setting of performance standards to monitor the effectiveness of talent processes in meeting business requirements.
• Leading a small group of highly specialised talent professionals, who will be considered the organisation’s subject matter experts in their relevant fields. 

As the role requires significant interaction and influence across the senior executive and leadership groups, we are seeking a highly capable and seasoned HR professional, with specialisation in leading talent functions across global organisations. We are embarking on a significant change agenda, and so we are ideally seeking an individual who has worked in organisations that have gone through similar transformations and can demonstrate their experience leading through the change. You will be seen as a natural and credible leader, and will understand what it takes to lead a global team of highly specialised professionals, with a tertiary qualification to round out the profile.
