Leadership Development Business Partner Responsibilities:

• Diagnose leadership and team effectiveness at the system level. Use evidence-based diagnostic methods — team assessments, 360 design and debrief, stakeholder interviews, organizational data — to identify root causes, not just symptoms. Translate diagnosis into actionable intervention design
• Design and deliver high-impact leader and team interventions. Build and facilitate bespoke development experiences — team engagements, leadership alignment sessions, transition support, coaching engagements — that are grounded in diagnosis and connected to business outcomes.

This includes educating leaders on how team and leadership development can impact their business and organizational needs
• Serve as cross-company intelligence. Use the rotational deployment model to identify patterns, share insights, and transfer best practices across business groups. Bring an enterprise-wide perspective to every engagement — "here's what we're seeing across Meta, and here's what's working."

• Support organizational and work environment transformation. Partner with leaders navigating large-scale change — reorgs, strategy shifts, AI transformation — with change management expertise that goes beyond process to address the leadership capability required to lead through disruption
• Stay at the cutting edge of the craft. Bring current research, emerging practices, and outside perspective on leadership effectiveness, team dynamics, and organizational health — especially as AI reshapes what leadership looks like at scale

• Track record of building trusted partnerships with both business leaders and HR partners, with experience consistently working under your own initiative, seeking feedback and input where appropriate
  

Preferred Qualifications:
