The OpportunitySixsentix is entering a defining phase of its evolution. We have built an international business of more than 300 people with a strong position in Quality Engineering and Software Testing. Our next chapter is not about becoming a larger version of the company we are today. It is about building a more innovative, scalable and AI-enabled organization that creates substantially more customer value.
The Group Chief People Officer (CPO) will join the Group Management Team (GMT) as the senior People and Organization leader, bringing deep expertise and independent judgement into the leadership of the Group. As a trusted counterpart to the CEO and a peer within the GMT, the CPO will help shape how leadership, talent, organizational capability, culture, incentives and ways of working evolve with the business strategy.
TheMandate
This is a high-trust, high-accountability role with meaningful autonomy to shape the People organization and agenda.
The CPO will be trusted to lead decisively within the mandate, while the most consequential leadership and organizational choices will be shaped in close partnership with the CEO, GMT and, where appropriate, the Board. This is not an advisory role: the CPO will be expected to form a clear point of view, influence decisions and take ownership for translating agreed direction into results.
Sixsentix operates across countries and legal entities with different strengths, maturity levels and local requirements. The CPO will build a Group People model that creates consistency where it adds value while preserving local strength, expertise and accountability where differentiation matters.
Where the CPO Needs to Make an Impact 1 - Build the leadership organization for the next stage of growthBuild the leadership capabilities Sixsentix needs for the company it is becoming. Identify who can scale with the business, accelerate high-potential leaders, strengthen succession and bring in exceptional external talent where greater capability is required. Ensure the right leaders are in the right roles, address dual responsibilities where they constrain focus, and create the leadership depth required for strong, profitable growth and the next stage of scale.
2- Create an exceptional talent environment
Create an environment that identifies potential earlier, develops people faster and retains those capable of disproportionate impact. Build sustained access to exceptional talent in the markets and capability areas most critical to Sixsentix's growth, while ensuring ambitious people can see meaningful opportunity to grow within the Group.
3 - Turn AI into organizational leverageTranslate Sixsentix's AI ambition into the People and Organization agenda: how roles, skills, leadership, workforce design and ways of working should evolve. The measure is not AI activity for its own sake, but greater customer value, faster decisions, higher productivity and a widening gap between value creation and headcount growth.
