Organisational Development Associate

Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets.

• Being embedded inside a real team: see how it works day to day, and surface what is and isn't working.
• Running the diagnostics on a team's health and management effectiveness (engagement, 360, direct feedback), and turning the evidence into a clear, honest read.
• Owning an improvement end to end: a concrete change to how a team works that you design, drive and land, with a senior practitioner alongside you.
• Supporting managers in delivering effective 360 performance feedback to individuals and helping them turn it into two or three real commitments they follow through on.
• Helping build the playbook: the standards, tools and shared language the whole function runs on. You are building the system others use, not producing filler.
• Learning coaching and organisational development directly from senior practitioners, on a fast, visible path to running this work yourself.

• A track record of leading and organising early. You have run things, built things, won people over and made change happen, in a startup, a student society, the military, a team, anywhere. People around you already see you as a driver.
• A deliberate pull toward developing people and organisations. You chose this field on purpose, with a real grounding in organisational or industrial psychology, behavioural science or a comparable basis. It is not a fallback.
• Drive and eagerness to learn. You have your own ideas and the confidence to challenge, and you are hungry to be coached and to grow fast.
• The presence to sit across from experienced people and talk about change with confidence.
