Description

About Standard Chartered

We are a leading international bank focused on helping people and companies prosper across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

To us, good performance is about much more than turning a profit.

It's about showing how you embody our valued behaviours - do the right thing, better together and never settle - as well as our brand promise, Here for good.

We're committed to promoting equality in the workplace and creating an inclusive and flexible culture - one where everyone can realise their full potential and make a positive contribution to our organisation.

This in turn helps us to provide better supportto our broad client base.

The Role Responsibilities

What is the Opportunity?
It is very rare to find an OD role like this one
The OD team at Standard chartered is trusted by our top executive to help create real and sustainable change.

This means that we are able to work at the cutting edge, using innovative approaches and experimenting with new ideas to push the boundaries of whatis possible.

A recent example of this involved working with a group of jazz musicians to introduce our senior leadership to notions of collaboration, agility and coaching.

Most organisations look for external consultants and gurus to advise and work with their C Suite. At Standard Chartered this is the role of our OD team.

Whereas OD practitioners in many organisations find themselves project managing third parties, our teamhave direct access to our most senior leaders, designing and delivering interventions themselves with the opportunity to have real influence within the organisation.

SCB is quite unique as a Bank.

Our geographical footprint places us in the world's fastest growing economies, our purpose points to making a real difference to the communities we serve, and our three stands - Accelerating Zero, Lifting Participation and ResettingGlobalisation - put us at the forefront of tackling the big issues that humanity faces.

We are a human bank, characterised by strong relationships and a genuine desire to do the right thing. We are Here for Good.

What will you be doing?

You will work with business leaders to understand their needs and to design and deliver interventions to make their organisations more effective.

This can range from senior team development or large group intervention and facilitation to systemic change initiativesor 1:1 coaching.

While most of your clients will be UK based, their organisations are likely to reach across our footprint and so most of your work will have an international dimension to it.

We work as a highly supportive team, drawing on each other's strengths and collaborating to do the very best for our clients.

We like to see our colleagues in the wider HR organisation as an extension of that team and we work closely with them to ensure thatour work is sustainable in the long term.


Our approach
We believe in a data driven, evidence-based, human-centred approach to OD. We are rigorous in our diagnostic and innovative in our design. We believe in working in partnership with our clients, building strong trusting relationships, evidenced and two-way challengeand feedback.

As a relatively small team, we make use of external partners where and when it makes sense, bringing them in for specific expertise or to cover work where we have insufficient capacity.

We are also keen to build capacity and self-sufficiency within the organisationand so we sometimes choose to train others to do the delivery rather than doing it ourselves.

Many teams talk about their values. We live ours.

Our Valued Behaviours - Do the Right Thing, Never Settle and Better Together underpin how we behave within the team and how we work with our clients, partners and colleagues.
