Interim Organisational Development Lead 

Drive meaningful culture change in a complex, people-first environment.

We’re looking for a seasoned Organisational Development professional who can do more than write a great strategy, someone who knows how to make it land. You’ll need to be comfortable navigating complexity, lifting the culture, and creating the kind of momentum that drives long-term change.

This role is all about traction – influencing without alienating, challenging without disrupting unnecessarily, and delivering with credibility and empathy.

What’s on the agenda?

  • OD strategy that actually gets adopted
  • Leadership development that changes behaviour
  • On-boarding that inspires, not bores
  • Well-being and engagement initiatives that resonate
  • ED&I that’s lived, not laminated
  • Measurable improvement in Net Promoter Scores

If you’ve worked in Higher Education and understand the nuance it takes to shift thinking (and systems) within this world, we’d love to hear from you.

Start date: August

Salary: c£80k

Please contact Claire Lauder for more information.
