  • Drive and role model an inclusive and values-aligned culture that empowers people and strengthens Coras’ brand.

Our Ideal Candidate :

  • Use exceptional communication and leadership skills to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels.
  • Balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery to drive people initiatives forward.
  • Lead with empathy, integrity, and high emotional intelligence to support and inspire a diverse workforce.
  • Solve complex organisational challenges with grit, rigour, and innovative solutions.
  • Set and promote high professional standards, fostering trust, accountability, and collaboration.

  • Advanced proficiency with business systems and tools, including Microsoft Office and HR technologies.
  • Proven ability to manage sensitive information with discretion, accuracy, and professionalism.
  • Why Join Coras?
