Senior Organisational Development Practitioner

Lifting organisations and the company

• Leaving an organisation you take on visibly better led, off a sharp first-weeks diagnosis and a plan you own and drive.

• Contributing to defining and implementing new ways of working across our globally distributed company.

Building the function and its standards

• Developing the practitioners in the field so they get visibly better at their craft under your supervision.

• Setting the bar for how coaching and organisational development is done at Canonical: owning what exceptional looks like, proving the methods in the field, and holding the practice to them.

• Sharpening the management-excellence standard itself across Canonical, by feeding back what you learn in the field.

What we are looking for in you

• Deep, hands-on coaching and organisational-development practice with real leaders and teams, not just programme design.

• A track record of measurably changing how leaders behave, with specific examples you can talk through.

• Credibility: you can walk into a room of directors and be taken seriously.

• Effectiveness operating inside someone else's organisation without formal authority.

• A clear and honest philosophy of development: you know where coaching helps, and you are candid about where a role or fit decision is the right call.

• An exceptional academic track record from high school and university.

• Excellent written and spoken English.

• Sincere personal motivation aligned with our mission.

• Willingness to travel up to 4 times a year for internal events.

In addition we expect that you will match our values, by being:

• Precise, taking care to deliver correctness and clarity.

• Reliable, delivering high quality work that builds trust and confidence.

• Accessible, collaborating to build products and systems that are usable.

• Adroit, blending enthusiasm, knowledge, adaptability, style and character.

Nice-to-have skills

• A management-consulting background: comfortable with ambiguity, able to diagnose, propose and move.

• Experience coaching across a distributed, fast-moving, technical organisation.

• Experience building competency or development frameworks.

• Experience designing and running effective workshops or training sessions, in person and online.

• Learning-design judgment for development materials. We want the design sense; AI handles the production drafting.

• Talent-development experience, valued alongside but secondary to coaching and consulting craft.
