Job description

We're hiring a Talent Management Manager for a large multinational manufacturer with a regional head office structure. The role owns talent management and L&D for the region and reports into senior HR leadership.

This is a design-and-own role, not a delivery role. You would run the talent review cycle, build or rebuild the competency framework, and hold the succession plans for critical positions. The leadership development, HiPo and coaching programmes sit under you too, but they exist to close the gaps the talent reviews expose. Expect to sit across the table from business heads and defend a view on who is actually ready for a bigger job and who isn't.

What the client wants:

• 10+ years in HR, with the recent years concentrated in talent management, leadership development or OD
• Competency frameworks you designed or rebuilt yourself, rather than rolled out on a consultancy's behalf
• Talent review and calibration run end to end, including facilitation of the calibration sessions
• Succession planning for critical roles, with formal readiness assessment of named successors
• Assessment or development centre design and facilitation
• HiPo programmes and IDP design
• Multinational, regional or matrix experience preferred

Useful certifications:

• SHRM-SCP or CIPD Level 5/7
• Korn Ferry or Hay assessment accreditation
• Hogan, SHL, Thomas, DISC or MBTI
• ICF or CCL coaching
