Company Description

Welcome to Kanadevia Inova, a global innovation leader in the waste infrastructure space, where we believe in creating a sustainable future through technology and innovation. 

Transforming Waste into Value

At Kanadevia Inova, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of waste-to-X technology. We are not just waste managers; we are creators of value from what communities discard. Your role at Kanadevia Inova directly contributes to turning something once considered useless - waste - into something invaluable: energy, heat, hydrogen, fertilizer, and beyond.

Job Description

  • Lead our established Organisational Development & Talent team and complete its evolution from learning and development into the company's centre for organisation development. 
  • Translate the growth strategy into organisational capabilities: operating models, structures, roles and decision rights. 
  • Establish the company's change method and prove it on live programmes. Every major change starts with a diagnosis of structural root causes, not with training. 
  • Own the culture-integration method for our acquisitions and size the support for each deal together with the M&A lead. 
  • Govern succession and critical roles, and keep leadership continuity measurable. 
  • Own senior leadership development and assessment: the development centre, the assessment architecture and the pipeline that feeds succession. 
  • Shape employee experience design and set the direction for AI adoption across the workforce, connected to how roles and work are designed. 
  • Act as trusted counsel to Business Unit heads, M&A leads and Executive Committee sponsors. 

Qualifications

  • At least 12 years in organisation development, change or transformation (time in the discipline, not general work experience), several of them at senior or lead level. 
  • A systemic practice: you work across structure, process and behaviour as one system, and you can show the impact. 
  • You diagnose organisations from evidence: where decisions slow down, where interfaces create friction, where the organisation chart and reality diverge. 
  • Organisation design experience: operating models, structures and decision rights, ideally including a target organisation for a growth plan. 
  • Hands-on post-merger integration experience on live deals. 
  • Fluency in the recognised change methodologies and clarity about their limits: you adapt the approach to the organisation, never the other way round. 
  • A Master's degree in organisation development, organisational psychology, HR or business administration. Fluent English; German is an advantage.
