This is an opportunity for a forward-thinking professional who enjoys both strategic design and practical execution in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Talent Management & Succession Planning

  • Design, implement, and continuously refine enterprise talent review processes to identify high-potential employees, critical roles, and future leaders across the organization.
  • Develop, maintain, and monitor succession plans for key roles, working in close partnership with senior leaders to assess readiness, risk, and development needs.
  • Lead career pathing and internal mobility frameworks that provide employees with clear growth opportunities and support long-term retention.
  • Collaborate with HR partners and business leaders to identify talent gaps and workforce risks, using data and insights to recommend targeted development, reskilling, or hiring strategies.
  • Embed inclusive and equitable talent practices that support diversity of thought, experience, and leadership representation.

Learning & Development

  • Build and execute a comprehensive learning and development strategy that supports leadership development, onboarding, functional capability building, and enterprise-wide skill development.
  • Design, launch, and oversee live, facilitator-led training programs focused on leadership effectiveness, soft skills, and core organizational capabilities.
  • Partner with internal subject matter experts and external vendors to develop high-quality learning experiences aligned to business priorities.
  • Establish clear learning objectives and success metrics, measuring program effectiveness through feedback, participation data, and business outcomes.
  • Continuously improve learning offerings by leveraging insights, emerging best practices, and evolving organizational needs.
  • Promote a culture of continuous learning by encouraging knowledge sharing, self-directed development, and manager-led coaching.
  • Performance Management

  • Lead the planning and execution of the organization's performance management cycle, ensuring clarity, consistency, and alignment across teams.
  • Train and coach managers and employees on effective goal setting, performance conversations, feedback practices, and development planning.
  • Ensure performance management processes are aligned with organizational values, leadership expectations, and talent development goals.
  • Analyze performance trends and outcomes, providing insights and recommendations to inform workforce planning, talent decisions, and leadership development.
  • Partner with HR and business leaders to evolve performance practices that support engagement, accountability, and high performance.
  • Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Organizational Development, Business, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 5 years of progressive experience in talent management, learning & development.
  • Demonstrated success designing and implementing enterprise-wide talent, learning, or performance programs.
  • Strong facilitation, coaching, and presentation skills, with the ability to engage audiences at all levels, including senior and executive leadership.
  • Experience working with talent analytics, learning management systems, and performance management tools.
  • Proven ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills, with a collaborative and consultative approach.
  • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a passion for developing people and leaders.
  • This role is ideal for a talent and learning professional who is energized by building scalable programs, influencing leaders, and making a meaningful impact on organizational capability and employee growth.
