A major focus will be preparing the organization for an AI-native future by redefining roles, skills, management practices, and talent assessment.
You will partner closely with People Partners, Talent Acquisition, People Analytics, and executive stakeholders in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
Success means creating measurable improvements in talent quality, manager effectiveness, organizational health, and workforce capability.

- Establish and maintain clear performance standards, lead talent calibration and review processes, and ensure consistent expectations across the organization.
- Create a cohesive talent management framework covering hiring, development, performance, succession, assessment, and career progression.
- Lead culture, leadership effectiveness, and employee engagement as measurable business disciplines, using data to identify gaps and drive accountability.

- Define the organizational implications of AI adoption, including agent-human management models, evolving peer expectations, role design, compensation considerations, and internal assessment approaches.
- Champion practical AI adoption within the Talent & Culture function, using emerging technologies to improve standards, processes, decision-making, and team effectiveness.
- Develop scalable tools, frameworks, and standards that enable People Partners to deliver consistent, high-quality support to their business teams.
- Own the early-career talent strategy, determining how to build the future talent pipeline and deploy emerging talent strategically across the organization.
- Lead, assess, coach, and develop the Talent & Culture leadership team, establishing high standards and addressing performance or capability gaps decisively.
- Influence senior leaders on enterprise-wide talent decisions, including complex or unpopular decisions where strong judgment and evidence are required.
- Integrate leadership expectations, success profiles, performance signals, and talent data into a clear framework for hiring, development, and assessment.
- Continuously evaluate organizational systems from a root-cause perspective, redesigning processes when needed to improve business outcomes and workforce effectiveness.
Requirements
- 15+ years of experience in talent management, organizational effectiveness, workforce strategy, or related disciplines, including at least three enterprise-level functions.

- Deep expertise in performance management, succession planning, organizational effectiveness, workforce planning, talent assessment, and organizational design.
- Strong understanding of talent risk and the ability to anticipate workforce requirements 12–24 months ahead while building practical strategies to address future needs.
- Proven ability to influence senior executives and shape company-wide talent decisions in complex, high-growth environments.
