About Support Functions

A global organization. It’s not just those in our industrial sites and technical centres that are vital to Umicore’s growth. Across our support functions we ensure that we continue to grow and evolve – whether it’s by making sure our decisions are commercially viable, enhancing our reputation, building new customer relationships or finding the right people who can build on what we’ve already achieved. The variety of our work means we cannot stand still. We need to find new ways to do things, discover new solutions and develop new ideas. Which is where you come in.

What You Will Be Doing

As a Talent Development Professional, you will play a key role in shaping meaningful development experiences for our people. You will support one of our business groups in rolling out global talent and learning initiatives while also driving group‑specific projects that respond to their needs. This role is ideal for someone early in their career who is eager to deepen their expertise in Talent Development through hands‑on work with business leaders.

In close collaboration with our Global Talent CoE, you will build Talent capability across your Business Group. You will prepare materials, coordinate global processes, and support the delivery of learning and talent activities. You will gather insights on existing talent processes, help design new ones, prepare and analyze data, and contribute to the continuous improvement of our tools and methods.

You will work with colleagues across regions and functions, helping to communicate updates, facilitate knowledge sharing, and bring consistency to how we develop talent across Umicore. As you grow in this role, you will take increasing ownership of projects and expand your impact through coaching, exposure to diverse initiatives, and real opportunities to shape how we enable growth in our organization.

Who We Are Looking For

• You bring a strong academic foundation in HR, psychology, business administration or a related field — and the courage to turn ideas into action.
• You’re at your best in a dynamic, matrix environment where collaboration fuels results and diverse perspectives move us forward.
• You have hands‑on experience supporting talent, learning or change initiatives and are ready to deepen your impact.
• You manage projects with energy and ownership, taking accountability for driving progress and delivering quality.
• You combine analytical thinking with curiosity and pragmatic problem‑solving, communicating clearly with stakeholders.
• You work independently yet thrive on teamwork, building strong connections across regions and functions to make things happen
