Job Description

The Talent and Performance Partner plays a critical role in designing and embedding ASOS’s talent and performance strategies.

You’ll act as a connector between strategy and execution, partnering with PX Partners, Talent & Culture Partners, and business leaders to ensure our frameworks align with ASOS’s values, business goals, and cultural ambitions — and are widely adopted and impactful. 

What You’ll Learn and Contribute To 

In this role, you’ll gain hands-on experience translating strategic talent and performance concepts into practical, scalable solutions that shape how people grow and perform at ASOS. You’ll strengthen your ability to influence across functions, working closely with PX and business leaders to embed talent practices that are data-informed, inclusive, and future-ready. 

You’ll contribute to building a connected talent landscape — where performance, development, and engagement are aligned — and help foster a culture where employees feel empowered and supported. This is a unique opportunity to deepen your expertise in organisational health, employee experience, and talent planning, while making a visible impact across the business. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Contribute to the development and embedding of ASOS’s Talent and Performance Philosophy, with methodologies and frameworks the embed a high-performance culture across ASOS 
• Strengthen organisational capability and performance by linking performance, reward, recognition, and engagement 
• Partner with PX, PX Partners, Talent & Culture Partners, and functional leaders to embed performance management practices that drive accountability and growth 
• Support the design and rollout of career development tools and experiences that empower employees to own their growth 
• Collaborate with Talent Acquisition, PX Partners, and functional leaders on how ASOS recruits, structures, and moves talent through the business — ensuring the right mix of stability and movement to meet short- and long-term organisational needs 
• Facilitate talent reviews and succession planning processes, ensuring visibility of key talent and readiness for future roles 
• Use data and insights to identify talent trends, risks, and opportunities — informing action plans and continuous improvement 
• Champion inclusive practices across all talent and performance initiatives, ensuring equity and inclusivity are embedded by design 

We believe being together in person helps us move faster, connect more deeply, and achieve more as a team. That’s why our approach to working together includes spending at least 3 days a week in the office. It’s a rhythm that speeds up decision-making, helps ASOSers learn from each other more quickly, and builds the kind of culture where people can grow, create, and succeed.
