  • Partner with HRBPs and Talent Acquisition to align talent practices (including recruiting, managing, identifying, developing, and retaining) with the skill-based framework.

Leadership Development & Servant Leadership Capability Framework

  • Create and deliver leadership development programs for multiple levels of leaders, promoting growth-centered and strength-based leadership behaviors.
  • Equip leaders with tools and learning experiences that enhance coaching, emotional intelligence, and inclusive practices.
  • Contribute to strengthening leadership pipelines and preparing high-potential talent for expanded responsibilities. 

Learning, Development & Strengths-Based Culture

  • Champion a strength-based culture that helps employees identify and apply their natural talents in ways that improve performance, engagement, and team effectiveness.
  • Integrate strength-based tools and assessments into development planning, leadership programs, and organizational interventions.
  • Design and deliver learning experiences, workshops, and development pathways aligned to organizational capability needs.
  • Promote continuous learning principles and create resources that empower employees and leaders to own their growth. 

HR Systems, Tools & Workday Optimization

  • Lead the optimization of Workday and other talent/learning systems to support skills tracking, capability growth, talent reviews, succession planning, and development planning.
  • Partner with HRIS and IT to ensure systems are configured to enable a consistent employee experience, transparent career pathways, and real-time workforce capability insights.
  • Establish dashboards, metrics, and reporting that inform strategic workforce planning and track progress on skill development, leadership readiness, and talent mobility.
  • Ensure systems support self-service and manager enablement, reducing friction and promoting an empowered, development-focused culture. 

Talent Review, Succession Planning & High-Potential Development 

  • In collaboration with HRBPs, support the design and execution of enterprise-wide talent review and succession planning processes by creating tools, templates, and frameworks for consistent application.
  • Analyze talent data to identify trends, strengths, risks, succession gaps, and opportunities for capability development.
  • Provide insights and recommendations to HRBPs and leaders to strengthen talent pipelines and prioritize development investments.
  • Partner with HRBPs—who own the business-facing process—to support the creation of actionable, strength-based development plans for high-potential employees and succession candidates. 

Stakeholder Partnership & Servant Leadership Influence

  • Serve as a strategic advisor to executives, business leaders, and HR partners—translating business needs into actionable talent strategies.
  • Lead and elevate the Development Community of Practice, strengthening practitioner capability, driving consistency in delivery, and embedding the latest industry insights and innovations across the organization.
  • Role model of servant leadership behaviors: active listening, inclusivity, collaboration, empathy, transparency, and servant-led decision making.
  • Build trusted relationships that enable influence, alignment, and collective ownership of capability-building efforts.
  • Support culture initiatives that drive inclusion, psychological safety, employee engagement, collaboration, and team empowerment. 

 

Qualifications:  

  • Bachelor's degree in human resources, Organizational Development, Business, Psychology, or related fields.
  • 7–10+ years of experience in talent development, organizational development, leadership development, or related HR functions.
  • Proven ability to design and implement OD, leadership, or capability-building initiatives.
  • Familiarity with skills-based talent practices and career architecture.
  • Experience using Workday or similar HR systems for talent management.
  • Strong analytical skills, including experience working with talent data and metrics.
  • Excellent facilitation, influencing, consulting, and communication skills.
  • Experience supporting change management and organizational effectiveness initiatives.

 

Compensation:
