Crimson is a Microsoft solutions consultancy based in the West Midlands who works closely with customers and partners on providing consultative digital transformation solutions. Due to market demand, we have decided to transform our business from a traditional, hierarchical structure to a more skills-based organisation, moving to a Matrix-management approach which will endeavour to support this strategy by also creating a flexible workforce where people are deployed for their skills and not just job titles.

They are also responsible for designing, implementing, and managing the competency framework across the organisation. This role focuses on identifying key competencies required for various roles, ensuring that employees have the skills needed to succeed, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and development. The Talent Manager shall be required to collaborate with the People Practice (HR), department heads, and senior leadership to align competency initiatives with organisational goals and help drive a culture of continuous professional development. You will be working alongside IT Professionals so an understanding of IT will be essential for this role.

Key Responsibilities:

* Conduct regular 121s with allocated resources, including annual performance reviews
