The Role

We're seeking a Contract Talent Development Specialist to translate leadership insights into robust, actionable development programming.

• IDP Expertise: Proven experience translating leader input and assessment data into specific, measurable, realistic individual development goals.
• Analytical & Strategic Thinking: The ability to interpret qualitative data from leaders, spot overarching development trends across a group, and build programming to address them.
• Independent Execution: Comfortable working from existing documentation with minimal hand-holding, and passionate about the "how" - turning high-level talent insights into practical, everyday growth actions.
• Must be able to work onsite 3 days per week at our Corp HQ office (Purchase, NY) from August 10, 2026 through the end of the year
