The Opportunity with McKinstry

Are you a talent visionary ready to architect the systems that shape how thousands of people grow, lead, and build their careers? McKinstry is looking for a Senior Director, Enterprise Learning & Talent Management - a rare opportunity to own and evolve an integrated talent ecosystem at a purpose-driven company that's redefining the built environment.

In this role, you won't just run programs - you'll build the operating model that connects learning, leadership development, career pathways, performance, succession, and internal mobility into one cohesive talent system. McKinstry University (McKU) becomes a real career progression engine under your leadership, not just a learning platform. You'll turn talent data into strategic decisions, and your team into a high-performing enterprise capability.

This is for someone who thinks in systems, leads with clarity, and is energized by the intersection of people strategy and organizational performance.

What you'll be driving:

        Enterprise Strategy & Portfolio Integration: Set the integrated strategy across enterprise learning, leadership development, performance, succession readiness, talent review, skills visibility, career pathways, and internal mobility. You'll lead the governance model - from standards and design practices to learning scorecards and effectiveness measures - so the work operates as a true enterprise capability.

        McKU, Development Pathways & Career Progression: Position McKU as the premier vehicle for role-based development and career progression by connecting learning paths to job architecture, skills proficiency expectations, career pathways, and internal mobility - transforming it from a standalone platform into a career acceleration engine.

        Leadership & Manager Development: Oversee McKinstry's full leadership development ecosystem - including senior leader and manager development, coaching, 360s, mentorship, and intact-team learning - ensuring leaders are built for what McKinstry needs next, not just what it needed yesterday.

        Leadership Continuity & Talent Readiness: Shift the organization from succession planning to succession readiness by integrating performance management, talent reviews, critical role identification, development plans, calibration, bench strength assessment, and talent risk visibility into a clear, actionable picture for senior leaders.

        Team Leadership & Operating Rhythm: Build, develop, and lead a high-performing Enterprise Learning & Talent Management team. Clarify ownership, reduce duplication, establish scalable rhythms, and cultivate a culture of integration over isolation.

What You Need to Succeed at McKinstry:

        12+ years of progressive experience in talent development, learning, talent management, leadership development, organizational development, HR, or related work; 5+ years in a $3-5B matrixed enterprise environment strongly preferred.

        Proven track record leading large teams and managing an enterprise portfolio spanning learning, performance, succession, leadership development, learning platforms, career pathways, skills, and internal mobility.

        Deep expertise in talent management practices - succession readiness, talent review, calibration, performance management, and leadership capability development.

        Experience building learning governance, standards, measurement frameworks, and scalable delivery models in complex matrixed organizations.

        Ability to connect job architecture, skills, learning paths, career pathways, mobility, and workforce planning into practical talent systems that drive real business outcomes.

        Proficiency with Workday, Docebo (or equivalent LMS), Power BI, and data analytics platforms preferred.

        Strong executive presence, business acumen, facilitation skills, change leadership, and cross-functional influence - you can simplify complexity and bring people along.

        Comfortable leading through ambiguity, setting clear priorities, and building durable operating models that scale.

        Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Organizational Development, Business, Education, Psychology, or related field required (or equivalent experience); advanced degree preferred.
