3What this role really is

We see you

In the quiet moments, you wonder how AI will reshape your role in understanding human potential. There's a sense of curiosity mixed with caution about what it means for the heart of your work.

A capability framework specialist studies specific job families, works out what skills matter, and builds that into a clear framework people can use.

4A day in the life

Not a job advert. A real day, built from what this role actually holds.

08:45
You start your day by reviewing notes from yesterday's stakeholder interviews, piecing together the skills that truly matter for the Marketing team.
11:00
A lively discussion unfolds as you facilitate an online workshop with department heads, probing deeper into their skill requirements and expectations.
14:30
You meticulously map existing learning content to the capability framework you’re developing, ensuring every piece aligns with the skills identified.
16:15
Your afternoon wraps up with a quality check on a draft framework, scanning for any inconsistencies or gaps before passing it to a senior colleague.

5What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

HRIS / Skills Cloud (Workday HCM or SAP SuccessFactors) Intermediate

You'll be pulling reports on employee profiles, navigating skills data, and performing data entry related to capability assignments. You'll need to understand the basic structure of our skills data.

Talent Intelligence Platform (e.g., Eightfold AI or Gloat) Basic

You'll use this to search for internal candidates based on defined skills and navigate the platform to understand existing skill profiles. It's about seeing how our framework comes to life in practice.

Data Visualization (Tableau or Power BI) Intermediate

You'll interpret and filter pre-built dashboards to answer specific questions about capability distribution and skill gaps. You won't necessarily be building them from scratch yet, but you'll be a confident user.

Survey & Assessment Tools (Qualtrics or SurveyMonkey Enterprise) Intermediate

You'll deploy pre-designed surveys to gather feedback on frameworks or assess skill levels. You'll manage distribution lists and export raw data for analysis.

Collaboration & Mapping Tools (Miro or Lucidchart) Expert

You'll use these constantly to document and iterate on framework designs, often in real-time during workshops. It's how we visually build and share our work.

LMS / LXP (Cornerstone OnDemand or Degreed) Intermediate

You'll be tagging and mapping learning content to the corresponding capabilities in the framework. You'll also help curate learning pathways within these platforms.

6What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Framework Content & Definitions Proposes initial drafts based on templates; requires full review and approval. Drafts and refines capability definitions and behavioural anchors for specific job families; consults with senior team on complex or ambiguous definitions; final approval by senior specialist. Leads the design of frameworks for entire departments; makes technical decisions on structure and content; recommends final versions for leadership approval.
Project Timelines & Scope Follows assigned timelines; flags potential delays to supervisor. Manages own project timelines for assigned workstreams; proposes adjustments for minor delays; escalates significant scope changes or delays to supervisor. Defines project timelines for their own projects; negotiates scope with stakeholders; informs Director of any major changes.
Stakeholder Communication Communicates with immediate team; drafts emails for supervisor review. Leads routine stakeholder meetings (e.g., initial interviews, feedback sessions); drafts and sends project updates; consults supervisor on sensitive communications. Leads all stakeholder communications for their projects; represents L&D in cross-functional meetings; advises leadership on communication strategy.
Tool & Methodology Selection Uses prescribed tools and methodologies. Selects appropriate tools (e.g., Miro, Qualtrics) within established guidelines for specific tasks; proposes minor methodological improvements for discussion. Recommends new tools or significant methodological changes for their projects; leads pilots and evaluates effectiveness.

7How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Framework Completion Rate
The percentage of assigned job family frameworks completed within agreed timelines.
Target · 90% of assigned frameworks completed on time

You're given three job families to map in Q2. You deliver two on time and the third is delayed by a week due to unexpected stakeholder changes. That's a 66% on-time rate, so we'd look to understand the blockers.

Framework Adoption Rate (Manager Usage)
The percentage of managers in your mapped departments who actively use the framework in performance reviews or development conversations.
Target · 70% adoption within 6 months of launch

After launching the Sales Capability Framework, 75 out of 100 sales managers reference it in their mid-year reviews. That's a 75% adoption, which is fantastic.

Learning Content Mapping Accuracy
The accuracy of linking learning resources (courses, articles) to the specific capabilities they develop within the framework.
Target · 95% accuracy in content tagging

An audit of 100 learning resources shows only 3 were incorrectly tagged to a capability, meaning 97% accuracy. We're aiming for near-perfection here, as this drives learning recommendations.

Stakeholder Feedback Score
Feedback from business leaders and HRBPs on the clarity, relevance, and usability of the frameworks you build.
Target · Average score of 4 out of 5 on framework quality

The Head of Marketing rates your new framework a 4.5/5, praising its practical application for their team. This is a good sign you're hitting the mark.

Framework Consistency & Quality
The logical structure, clear language, and overall coherence of the capability frameworks you develop, ensuring they align with our broader enterprise standards.
  • Your frameworks are easily understood by employees and managers. There are no conflicting definitions or ambiguous behavioural anchors. Senior team members rarely need to make significant edits to your drafts. People actually say, 'Ah, that makes sense!' when they read it.
Proactive Problem Solving
Your ability to spot potential issues in framework design or stakeholder engagement early on and propose practical solutions before they become big problems.
  • You flag a potential clash between two departmental skill definitions before it's too late. You suggest a new way to gather feedback that saves time. You don't just identify problems
  • you come with ideas on how to fix them. You're not waiting to be told what to do next, you're thinking a step ahead.
Collaborative Approach
How effectively you work with different teams, listen to their needs, and integrate their feedback into the framework development process, building trust along the way.
  • Business leaders actively seek out your input. You're seen as a trusted partner, not just someone from HR. You successfully mediate disagreements between stakeholders on skill definitions. People actually enjoy working with you on these projects.

8Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Building Order from Chaos

You'll get a real kick out of taking a messy, undefined job family and turning it into a clear, logical set of capabilities. It's about bringing structure and clarity to something that was previously ambiguous.

You'll spend a week interviewing various Sales Managers, hearing different ideas about what 'good' looks like, and then you'll craft a single, coherent Sales Capability Framework that everyone can understand and use. That feeling of clarity is a big win.

Enabling People's Growth

You'll be driven by the idea that your work helps people understand how to develop their careers. You're building the tools that empower employees to take control of their own learning and progression.

When an employee tells you they used the framework to identify a skill gap, found a relevant course, and then got promoted, you'll feel genuinely proud that your work made a tangible difference to their life.

Solving Complex Puzzles

This role is full of intricate problems: how do you define 'strategic thinking' for a junior vs. a senior role? How do you ensure consistency across different departments? You'll enjoy the intellectual challenge of figuring these things out.

You're tasked with creating a capability for 'Customer Empathy' that needs to apply to both a call centre agent and a product designer. Figuring out how to define that consistently across different contexts is the kind of puzzle you'll love.

What frustrates people
  • Spending three weeks in a committee debating the precise wording of a single behavioural anchor for a mid-level competency that impacts maybe 50 people.
  • Being expected by leadership to solve deep-rooted cultural or performance management issues with what is essentially a well-organised spreadsheet.
  • The soul-crushing reality of trying to force your elegant, multi-dimensional skills ontology into the rigid, flat, and unforgiving data tables of a legacy HRIS.
  • The company announces a major strategic pivot six months into your 18-month project, making half of your meticulously defined 'critical capabilities' suddenly irrelevant.
  • Receiving constant, vague requests from executives to sprinkle the latest buzzwords like 'AI' or 'Agile' throughout the framework without any clear definition of what the skill actually entails or how it applies.
What this role does not give you
  • A fast-track to people management (this is an Individual Contributor role, focused on deep expertise).
  • The ability to make immediate, sweeping changes across the organisation (it's about influence and careful design).
  • A role where you're constantly 'on stage' delivering training (your impact is more behind-the-scenes, shaping the content).
  • A completely independent role with no need for consensus building (you'll be collaborating constantly).

9Who you work with

Your work directly shapes how we define talent, identify skill gaps, and design learning programmes. Get it right, and we build a more skilled, adaptable workforce. Get it wrong, and we waste money on irrelevant training and frustrate our employees with unclear expectations. Honestly, it's pretty foundational to our people strategy.

Inside the business
  • Departmental Heads (e.g., Head of Marketing, Head of Product)
  • HR Business Partners (HRBPs)
  • Talent Acquisition Team
  • Learning & Development Team (peers and leadership)
  • Individual Contributors within specific job families
Outside the business
  • External L&D vendors (occasionally)
  • Industry bodies for best practice research

10What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of experience working in an HR, L&D, or talent-related role, where you've had some exposure to job analysis, competency modelling, or learning design.
  • Proven experience in data collection and analysis, whether that's through surveys, interviews, or reviewing existing documentation.
  • Demonstrable ability to organise complex information into clear, logical structures (e.g., project plans, detailed reports, process maps).
  • Experience using collaborative tools like Miro, Lucidchart, or similar for visual communication and design.
  • A solid understanding of Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) – you'll be using these daily for documentation and analysis.

11What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Data Storytelling & Visualisation

It's not enough to just have the data; you need to tell a compelling story with it. As frameworks generate more data on skills, the ability to turn complex charts into clear, actionable narratives for senior leaders will be crucial for influencing decisions.

Narrative Structure in Data · Audience-Centric Visualisation · Interactive Dashboard Design · Cognitive Load Reduction

  • This week: Pay close attention to how senior leaders present data. What works? What doesn't?
  • This month: Take an online course on advanced Tableau or Power BI dashboard design, focusing on user experience.
  • Month 2: Volunteer to create a small, internal dashboard for a team, focusing on making it super easy to understand.
  • Month 3: Practice presenting a complex data set to a non-technical audience, asking for feedback on clarity and impact.

Quick win: Next time you create a chart, write out the single, most important takeaway message as the title. Don't make people guess.

Prompt Engineering for HR/L&D

Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming incredibly powerful. Knowing how to write effective prompts to get the best output for tasks like drafting job descriptions, summarising interview notes, or even generating learning objectives will be a game-changer for efficiency.

Context & Constraints · Iterative Prompting · Role-Playing & Persona Prompts · Output Validation

  • This week: Start using ChatGPT or Claude for simple tasks like drafting emails or summarising articles.
  • This month: Experiment with writing prompts for drafting job descriptions or behavioural anchors, focusing on specificity.
  • Month 2: Share your best prompts with colleagues and learn from theirs. Create a small internal 'prompt library'.
  • Month 3: Explore how to integrate LLM capabilities into your existing workflows (e.g., using an AI assistant in Miro).

Quick win: Use an LLM to summarise your own meeting notes after a stakeholder interview. See how well it captures the key points.

12Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Join relevant professional bodies like the CIPD or ATD and attend their webinars or local events. It's a great way to stay current and network.
  • Read books and articles on skills taxonomies, competency modelling, and strategic workforce planning. There's always something new to learn.
  • Seek out opportunities to shadow senior colleagues in complex stakeholder meetings to observe their influencing and facilitation techniques.
  • Take online courses in advanced data visualisation or ethical AI in HR to prepare for future trends (we'll cover the costs, of course).

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, some parts of building capability frameworks can be a bit of a grind. But what if you could cut down on the tedious bits and focus on the really interesting, strategic work? That's exactly what AI can help you do.

We're not talking about replacing your brain; we're talking about giving you a seriously smart assistant. Imagine automating the initial drafts, speeding up research, and even getting help with the tricky wording of behavioural anchors. Our internal AI Productivity Hub is packed with tools and guides to help you do just that. You'll be able to get through the groundwork much faster, freeing you up to do the deep thinking and stakeholder engagement that truly matters.

Taxonomy Draft 1.0 Generator

Feed an AI model hundreds of internal job descriptions and external postings for similar roles. It'll then generate a draft skills taxonomy and hierarchy, identifying the most common skills and suggesting logical groupings. This saves you weeks of manual analysis at the start of any new framework project.

Behavioural Anchor Wordsmith

After you've written a rough draft of a behavioural anchor, an AI assistant can instantly generate 5-10 alternative versions. It can refine the language to be more observable, measurable, and consistent with the tone of the rest of the framework. This cuts down on the most tedious part of framework writing by 30-50%.

Content Mapping Assistant

An AI tool can 'read' your entire library of learning content (transcripts, documents) and automatically suggest the top 3-5 capabilities from your framework that each piece of content supports. This drastically speeds up the content mapping process, saving you 40-60% of the time required for manual tagging.

Initial Data Analysis & Summarisation

Got a pile of survey results or interview transcripts? An AI can quickly summarise key themes, identify common skill gaps mentioned, and even flag inconsistencies across different data sources. This helps you get to the insights faster, leaving you more time for validation and deeper analysis.
