Full job description

Are you a strategic talent leader ready to shape the future capability of a complex, international organisation? This is a rare opportunity to define and deliver a group-wide talent agenda at a pivotal moment for Arriva - building leadership strength, accelerating high-potential talent, and ensuring we have the skills and capability needed to deliver our long-term strategy.

Arriva is a leading European passenger transport partner, operating in 11 countries across the UK and Europe. With around 35,000 colleagues delivering more than 1.5 billion passenger journeys each year, we connect people and communities safely, reliably and sustainably. With strong roots dating back to 1938 and an ambitious growth and sustainability agenda, Arriva is focused on building a strong and sustainable future.

We are looking for a Group Head of Talent to join our Group Talent & Reward team on a full-time permanent basis. This is a unique opportunity to shape and lead Arriva Group’s talent strategy across Europe, ensuring we build the leadership capability, succession strength and talent pipelines needed to support our long-term growth.

The role will be responsible for defining and delivering a cohesive, forward-looking talent agenda across the organisation, including senior leadership development, succession planning, high-potential acceleration programmes and early careers. You will also lead the ongoing development and embedding of the Arriva Leadership Mindset, ensuring it is consistently applied across the employee lifecycle.

Working closely with the Executive Team, HR Directors and senior leaders across the business, the role holder will ensure talent initiatives are aligned to organisational priorities, impactful in delivery and supported by data and insight. This role offers a significant opportunity to influence at the highest levels and play a critical part in shaping the future capability and leadership of Arriva Group.

This role will be on a hybrid working basis, a minimum of 3 days per week in either our London (Lacon) or Sunderland (Doxford Park) office, with the remainder focused on where you can best deliver for your colleagues while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Build a transparent and data-led process for identifying and developing high-potential talent.
Provide insight and recommendations to support workforce planning and mitigate succession risk.

High-Potential & Acceleration Programmes

Ensure programmes are inclusive, impactful and aligned to business strategy.
Track progression and outcomes to ensure long-term value.

Competency Framework (Leadership Mindset)

Ensure consistent application across recruitment, performance and development practices.
Partner with HR and business leaders to align capabilities with future organisational needs.

Early Careers Leadership

Provide strategic oversight of early careers programmes, including graduates and apprenticeships.
Ensure pathways align to long-term talent and capability requirements.
Support the development of a diverse and sustainable pipeline of future talent.

Stakeholder Engagement & Insight

Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders on talent, leadership and organisational capability.
Collaborate with HR teams to embed talent initiatives across all markets.
Use data and insight to measure impact and inform decision-making.

What we’d like from you

Candidates will preferably:

Have significant experience in talent management, leadership development or organisational development within a complex, multi-market environment.
Have a strong track record of designing and delivering leadership and succession strategies.
Possess excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to build credibility at Executive level.
