• Own the long‑term workforce plan for the business, aligned to cost, skills, and location strategy; provide perspective on tradeoffs and resourcing decisions.
• Proactively create talent goals and cadence with the Senior Leadership team, embedding inclusive talent mechanisms into the rhythm of business.
• Anticipate industry trends and future talent needs; partner with central teams to identify capability gaps and propose solutions that accelerate business objectives.
