As Leadership & Succession Capability Lead, you will be responsible for building and evolving Vinted’s leadership development and succession planning capabilities as we continue to scale. You’ll define what great leadership looks like at Vinted, use data to identify our most important leadership capability gaps, and translate these insights into scalable development solutions for leaders at different levels.

You’ll also build our approach to succession planning: defining how we identify critical roles, assess successor readiness and bench strength, and turn succession risks into meaningful talent and development actions. You’ll combine strategic design with hands-on delivery, including facilitating leadership programmes, workshops, talent reviews and senior leadership conversations.

You’ll be part of the People Growth & Development team and work closely with senior leaders, People Business Partners and other People teams to ensure our leadership and succession priorities reflect the needs of the business and strengthen Vinted’s leadership pipeline for the future.
