The role operates at the intersection of business strategy, talent practices, and learning—partnering with leaders to support critical talent moments while owning scalable development experiences for the enterprise.

  • Design and deliver bespoke talent programs or interventions (e.g., manager effectiveness, role transitions, capability building) aligned to departmental priorities.
  • Use data, leader input, and talent insights to identify risks, opportunities, and recommended actions; elevate themes and improvements to overall talent strategy.

Learning And Development

  • Own the enterprise professional development curriculum, including strategy, roadmap, and ongoing evolution. Program examples include mentoring, aspiring managers, career management, etc.
  • Define and maintain scalable learning pathways aligned to enterprise values, behaviors and competencies.
  • Design and deliver high-quality professional development programs using a variety of delivery modalities.
  • Evaluate program effectiveness and continuously refine offerings to ensure relevance, adoption, and impact.
  • Source and manage vendors as needed to support or scale professional development initiatives.

Additional Responsibilities

  • Provides routine assessments and updates to various stakeholders on the impact of department programs.
  • Assists in the ongoing planning and communication of programs.
  • Remains current on developments in training and instructional methodologies, including technology enhancements, and attends periodic seminars, forums and meetings to ensure currency of education.
  • Proactively network with other organizational training functions to share information, best practices, and build deeper collaboration.
  • Performs any and all other duties as necessary and as assigned by manager for the efficient running of the Department.

Required Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And/or Related Experience

  • 7 years of experience spanning learning program design/delivery and/or talent management enablement (performance, talent review, succession, manager effectiveness).
  • Expertise in leveraging the ADDIE model to execute broad training initiatives.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate as a consultative partner to leaders: intake, diagnosis, influence, and solution shaping.
  • Experience facilitating leader-facing talent sessions (calibration prep, manager enablement, talent programs, workshops).
  • Strong program and project management skills; ability to manage multiple priorities and drive high-quality execution in ambiguous environments.
  • Strong written and verbal skills; ability to translate complex processes into clear, practical tools.
  • High standards for customer experience and deliverable quality; results orientation and bias for action.
  • Proficiency in MS Office.
  • Workday experience preferred.
