What you bring:

• Scale: 10+ years of progressive HR or Talent Development experience, including leading talent programs and teams in hypergrowth tech organizations of 2,000+ employees.
• Leadership Experience: Demonstrated experience managing and developing high-performing teams, with a track record of building bench strength and fostering professional growth.
• Talent Management Expertise: Deep knowledge of talent management practices including performance management, succession planning, 360 feedback, and career development program design.
• Leadership Development: Proven experience designing and delivering leadership development programs and learning solutions across all levels of leadership.
• Learning Design & Infrastructure: Hands-on experience leading or working alongside learning experience designers and a point of view on what good looks like — from how a shared services learning function operates to the tools that power it (LMS, course authoring tools, content libraries, and emerging AI-enabled solutions).
• AI Fluency & Forward Thinking: You are genuinely energized by AI and bring real, hands-on fluency. You actively use AI tools to rethink how you and your team work, and you're comfortable operating at the pace of change AI demands.
• Strategic Execution: Ability to operate at both a strategic and executional level — you set the vision and roll up your sleeves to get it done.
• Stakeholder Influence: Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust and drive alignment across People CoEs, People Business Partners, business leaders, and senior stakeholders.
