We are seeking a strategic, high-ownership expert to lead our enterprise-wide assessment and survey strategy.

• Stakeholder Empowerment: Act as the internal consultant for HR and business leaders; you will develop training and resources that demystify assessment data, ensuring stakeholders use results ethically and effectively to make talent decisions
• Insight into Action: Move beyond "reporting data" to "telling stories" you will lead the effort in helping executives and managers interpret survey results and facilitate meaningful action-planning sessions that drive organizational change
• Integrated Talent Strategy: Partner closely with Talent Development colleagues to integrate assessment data into hiring decisions, leadership development programs, succession planning, and HIPO programs, ensuring a "whole person" view of our talent pipeline

• Strategic Survey Design: You possess a deep understanding of survey methodology, psychometrics, and the "Employee Experience" ecosystem
• Consultative Influence: You can translate complex data into clear, persuasive insights for non-technical senior leaders
• High Ownership & Accountability: You thrive in roles where you own the "North Star" of a program; you are comfortable taking full responsibility for the success, ethics, and ROI of our assessment tools
