OSW Group is looking for an experienced Group VP, People to lead and build our global People function through our next phase of international growth.

OSW operates a portfolio of fast-scaling businesses across renewable energy, technology and e-commerce, spanning solar and storage distribution, SaaS-enabled energy solutions, digital commerce, embedded finance and engineering.

Reporting directly to the Group CEO, this role will partner closely with the CEO, CSO and senior business leaders to shape how we organise, plan, attract, develop, reward and retain our people globally.

This is a genuine builder role.

You will lead the evolution of our People function from a predominantly locally-led model into a scalable Group People platform — creating greater consistency across the Group while retaining the agility needed by individual businesses and markets.

What you'll lead

• Group People strategy aligned to international growth and commercial priorities

• Organisation design, workforce planning and headcount governance

• Global People operating model and regional HR capability

• Job architecture, levelling, reward and People governance

• Leadership capability, succession and performance management

• International expansion, mobility and employment models

• Talent acquisition and critical-role planning

• HR systems, People data, payroll governance and workforce analytics

• Culture, employee experience and organisational effectiveness

• A global People team operating across multiple markets and business units

What we're looking for

You'll bring significant senior People leadership experience across multiple countries, business units or operating companies, together with demonstrated experience building or materially transforming a People function through growth, international expansion or organisational complexity.

You'll have strong capability in organisation design, workforce planning, leadership, reward, talent and People infrastructure, combined with the commercial judgement to advise senior leaders on workforce cost, productivity, talent risk and organisational decisions.

Most importantly, you'll be comfortable moving between strategy and execution. OSW is looking for someone pragmatic, commercially minded and hands-on who can build the foundations while operating effectively in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.

Experience within high-growth, technology-enabled, renewable energy, distribution, SaaS, e-commerce, supply chain, industrial technology or international scale-up environments will be highly regarded.

Why OSW

This is an opportunity to build the People architecture for a genuinely international Group at an important point in its evolution.

You'll work directly with the Group CEO and leadership team, influence how and where the Group grows, and create a People platform capable of supporting multiple businesses, markets and workforce populations globally.
