• Translate assessment data into personalized feedback, development pathways, and organizational insight for HRBPs and Talent Leads.

• Partner with analytics teams to define clear measures of success-readiness acceleration, promotion rates, performance lift, and engagement.

Stakeholder Engagement & Executive Partnerships

• Partner with Talent Management, HRBPs, and business leaders to co-own development of high-potential leaders and future successors.

• Cultivate strong executive sponsorship and visibility to increase program prestige, support, and application.

• Act as internal consultant and coach to HiPo participants, helping them apply learning to enterprise priorities.

• Build repeatable playbooks that preserve quality while enabling scale across regions.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in business, HR, OD, or a related field.

• Minimum 6+ years of experience in project managing learning experiences for international cohorts (customized and/or open enrollment) within professional education providers or internally within large multinational organizations.

• Proven ability to design and develop scalable interventions that address organizational and individual capability development needs.

• Demonstrated experience partnering with senior stakeholders and sponsors to shape, deliver, and sustain organizational development initiatives.
