Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advisor Experience

To be successful in this Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisor role, you must have demonstrable and previous global experience in a standalone or senior level, DE&I focused capacity, embedding DE&I as a subject matter expert, within the private sector. The DE&I Advisor will be introducing the DE&I strategy and plans to all locations globally and so international experience is desirable. You will be an influencer, strategic thinker and ideas generator and be strong at networking and building stakeholder relationships to gain buy-in from the key interfaces who are UK-based. You will be experienced at leading the DE&I strategy, working with an HR team to collate data, measure and analyse metrics to ensure targets and KPIs are being met and to identify areas for improvement. As the DE&I expert you will raise awareness on a global scale of DE&I initiatives. Although the company have not had a DE&I specialist before, they have previously focused on Diversity and Inclusion and the Equity piece is a new focus for the organisation and so you will have experience of identifying ways to offer an equitable work environment. You must have experience within a varied DE&I capacity covering all areas of DE&I. 

Please note that the HR team have some DE&I expertise and so the new DE&I Advisor will need to add more value and knowledge and so the client will not consider an HR generalist for this role, and you must have solid working experience as a specialist in this DE&I area. The DE&I Advisor will contribute to creating the strategy for the DE&I work but their manager will have final approval.

The role is UK-based however there could be some travel 5-15% of the time.

Experience working within a similar sector/ organisation is highly desirable such as manufacturing to fully understand the industry challenges around DE&I. 

Location

This is an office-based role with a minimum of 3 days per week in South Oxford, and 1-2 days working from home. Parking is available on-site. Please ensure you can comfortably do this commute. 

This role is full-time, permanent.
