As a Head of Employee Experience & Belonging, your mission is to bring together employee experience and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion under one unified, forward-looking belonging agenda: building a Nestlé where employees thrive, feel seen, valued and able to contribute fully - at global scale, for more than 270,000 employees.

This is your opportunity to take ownership, grow your expertise, and make a difference at scale.

• Establishing a global employee experience framework that combines human-centred design, service design and digital tools to create a coherent Nestlé experience across markets and employee groups.
• Designing listening approaches with People Analytics, translating feedback into action-oriented narratives and visibly closing the loop to strengthen trust and participation.
• Embedding belonging practices into the business rhythm, strengthening psychological safety, voice, equitable access to opportunity and leader accountability.
• Stewarding the internal employee value proposition and belonging narrative through authentic storytelling, internal campaigns and moments that build cultural pride and shared identity.
• Leading the global belonging community, senior stakeholder reporting and external positioning, enabling local execution, shared learning and clear recommendations for people leaders.
• Contributing to senior stakeholder dialogues and shaping recommendations on the “Employee Experience” priorities, strengthening alignment and traction across the organisation.
