Would you consider yourself an expert in people?

Are you passionate about creating environments for others to grow?
Do you have experience launching learning or culture-building initiatives?
Or perhaps you’ve spent much of your career designing experiments that shift behavior—driving adoption, engagement, or growth—and now want to apply that thinking to how people learn, connect, and thrive at work?

Are you familiar with the work of thinkers like Rory Sutherland, Richard Thaler, or Susan Michie, and excited by the idea of using insights from behavioral science, psychology, marketing, or product to shape meaningful change?

If so, this could be the role for you.

We’re looking for someone with a non-traditional mindset, who can help accelerate how our people grow and how our culture scales. Please read carefully before applying—we’re looking for curiosity, creativity, and courage in equal measure.

About the Role

As Talent Acceleration Manager (tX) for EMEA, you’ll help design and deliver programs that develop leaders, strengthen performance, build connection, and embed our unique culture—Outrageously Extraordinary (OE)—as we continue to scale rapidly across the region.

This is a hands-onrole. You’ll partner closely with People & Culture, leaders, and teams to run engaging learning experiences, performance and talent routines, and culture activation moments across markets.

We're especially interested in candidates with experience using human centered design experience in the people space—such as marketing, product, experience design, or behavioral science—who can bring new thinking and creativity to how people develop at work.

What You’ll Do

• Design and deliver talent, learning, and cultural activation programs across EMEA.
• Partner with HRBPs and business leaders to embed leadership, performance, and culture routines across the region.
• Support and coach leaders and teams to build high performance, strong feedback practices, and healthy team dynamics.
• Apply insights from marketing, product, or behavioral science to increase adoption and engagement—launching programs people want to use.
• Support with coordination of team efforts and priority initiatives.
• Use data to measure impact and continuously improve programs.
• Support the ongoing development of our Outrageously Extraordinary culture through rituals, experiences, storytelling, and leadership role-modelling.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience designing or delivering learning, leadership, culture, or performance programs.
• Familiarity with human-centered or behavioral approaches to designing experiences (e.g., behavioral science, product thinking, experience design, marketing).
• Strong facilitation and communication skills—you’re confident in a room and can drive engagement.
• Ability to work across multiple countries, cultures, and stakeholders.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where things move quickly and experimentation is encouraged.
• Ability to influence, collaborate, and build strong internal relationships.
