Join Us

Shape Talent was founded on the belief that the world would be a better place if there were greater gender balance in leadership. We began by accelerating women into leadership, the hardest version of the talent progression problem. It taught us to map what stops capable people rising, in the person, the organisation and the world around both. That research became the Three Barriers Model®.

Today our work has expanded and we are a Talent & Leadership Partner to multinational organisations. We exist to unlock leadership and expand what’s possible. We develop the leaders a changing world demands, and address the barriers that keep the right people from rising to lead.

We are a ‘small but mighty’, fully remote team of psychologists, coaches, facilitators and commercial specialists, and our gender equity expertise underpins everything we do. Across our talent acceleration programmes, around two thirds of participants are promoted within 12 months.

To help us bring our work to new clients we have an exciting opportunity for an experienced facilitator to join our team, leading our flagship leadership development programmes for blue-chip clients across the UK, Europe and beyond. You will design and deliver workshops, group coaching and one-to-one development planning for leaders, manage a small number of client relationships, and spot opportunities to renew and extend our work. Our programmes range from leadership capability for the AI era, to the move from technical expert to people leader, to women-only accelerators for high-potential leaders.

You will bring:

• Extensive experience designing and delivering behavioural change programmes for sophisticated leadership audiences, gained in a large corporate L&D function or a leadership development consultancy
• Accredited coaching status (ACC, PCC or equivalent) with at least 200 coaching hours, plus experience running group coaching cohorts
• Commercial awareness and strong client relationship skills, ideally from a consulting or professional services setting
• An evidence-based approach to design, a cross-cultural perspective, and the confidence to think on your feet with senior audiences

Experience in women’s development, psychometric assessment or AI adoption at scale is highly desirable.

The position is 3 days pw (Tue – Thu) fully remote, and some UK and international travel is required, including periodic trips to London. For legal and tax reasons, we can only consider UK-based candidates.

Shape Talent is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We provide equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, religion, sex, disability, sexual orientation, age, marital status, maternity and pregnancy and gender reassignment.

Building inclusive cultures is essential to the work we do for our clients and we constantly strive to build this in our own team. As such we keenly welcome interest from those from under-represented groups.
