About you

n

You will be an experienced executive who has operated in a complex, commercially focused organisation where people, governance, risk and reputation matter.

n

Your background may have been built through People & Culture leadership or a broader corporate portfolio; importantly, you will bring the executive maturity and breadth to lead across multiple disciplines.

n

You will bring:

n

n
- Significant executive leadership experience within a complex organisation.
n
- Strong commercial acumen and the ability to connect people and organisational priorities to business outcomes.
n
- Experience leading organisational change, transformation and capability uplift.
n
- Credibility partnering with CEOs, Boards and senior executives.
n
- Strong governance, risk and decision-making capability.
n
- The ability to lead specialist functions through capable leaders rather than needing to be the technical expert in every discipline.
n
- A pragmatic, contemporary and highly collaborative leadership style.
n

n

BAC's leaders genuinely care about their people, and this role will suit an executive who shares that philosophy while also being prepared to challenge, influence and lead through change.

n

An airport is never static. BAC operates in an environment where today's performance matters while the organisation continues to prepare for what comes next.

n

For the incoming EGM People, Culture & Governance, that creates a compelling mandate: respect what has made BAC successful, while helping shape what it needs to become.

n

This is an opportunity to join an organisation with the scale and complexity of a major enterprise, the connectivity of a relatively small workforce, and a leadership team ambitious about its next chapter.
