People Engagement Lead (m-f-d)

We are looking for an engaged People Engagement Lead who brings solid expertise and a passion for FSC’s mission, to work with us in a multinational environment.

The People Engagement Lead is a key architect of organisational engagement, resilience, culture, and change at FSC.

As a core member of the People & Culture team, you will play a crucial role in enabling FSC’s success by combining change leadership, employee engagement, and resilience-focused people insights. You will design and implement engagement strategies grounded in FSC’s values, supporting adaptability, wellbeing, and sustained performance across the organisation.

• Partner with leaders to strengthen psychological safety, adaptability, and sustainable workload practices.

• Integrate engagement, wellbeing, retention, learning, and performance data to assess organisational resilience.
• Identify trends and signals related to workforce sustainability, risk, and change readiness.
• Provide clear insights, narratives, and tracking to support continuous improvement and informed decision‑making.

• Significant experience in employee engagement, organisational development, change leadership, organisational health, resilience, or related roles — ideally in complex, multicultural, mission-driven environments.
• Proven experience translating engagement or resilience insights into sustainable organisational actions.
• Strong analytical capability with the ability to connect quantitative and qualitative insights into clear recommendations.
• Experience supporting organisations through change while strengthening wellbeing and adaptability.
