Team:  

This team member will be excited join a growing Talent Development team who is working and building very intentionally to create & introduce programs, initiatives, and experiences that will be best in class. Strategy and planning are both critical to the Talent Development team, but this is coupled with an attitude of “it doesn’t have to be perfect” and a willingness to quickly execute on the first version of content/programs/pilots/initiatives/ideas. The Talent Development team recognizes that, in order to create meaningful growth and development experiences and provide helpful solutions to the business, we must be data-driven and must also work collaboratively with many stakeholders. This requires our team to prioritize our work and manage our commitments very carefully because we want to deliver quality while also working sustainably.

What you’ll do: 

In this role, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, managing, and (perhaps) facilitating talent development programs, processes & tools. You’re comfortable in all aspects of program management, from conducting needs analysis and designing program experiences to implementing large-scale programs and analyzing the impact/results.  You have a strong understanding of what it takes to create effective learning experiences for diverse and dispersed teams. You are strategic in how you design and implement development programs, balancing the needs of the learner with the demands of the business.  You’re a strong collaborator and communicator, comfortable working with people leaders at all levels, and across all teams, to create alignment and engagement around the initiatives you develop. You will be creating a culture of learning and growth that aligns with and enhances our company values and principles. If you have a passion for fostering team member growth and development and possess strong communication skills, project management expertise, and are energized by a rapidly changing environment, this is the role for you.
