Job description

You will join a highly visible People leadership team supporting both operational and corporate functions across a complex, fast-moving organization undergoing business transformation and operational expansion. The team collaborates closely with senior executives, operational leaders, People business partners, talent management, and learning teams in a culture focused on safety, accountability, operational excellence, and developing leaders who can guide teams through change. This is a director-level role reporting to the Vice President of People, responsible for leading and influencing enterprise-wide initiatives.

The role offers the opportunity to build and modernize an enterprise leadership development strategy, with significant visibility and the ability to influence how frontline leaders, managers, directors, and high-potential talent are developed. Key responsibilities include owning initiatives such as leadership development, succession readiness, onboarding, organizational transformation, and manager effectiveness. The director will also introduce digital learning and responsible AI-enabled solutions to improve access, personalization, productivity, and coaching, and will evaluate, redesign, scale, or retire programs based on measurable business value and organizational needs.

This role is critical as the organization is at an inflection point and needs a strategic builder to assess leadership capability gaps and create a clear, scalable development roadmap. You will strengthen readiness for broader responsibilities across frontline leaders, managers, directors, and succession candidates by connecting leadership development to succession planning, performance management, retention, and organizational change. Success requires establishing meaningful measures for leadership readiness, behavior change, adoption, internal bench strength, onboarding effectiveness, and business impact, while partnering with operational and corporate leaders to translate business challenges into practical development solutions rather than generic training.
