The role partners closely with HR Business Partners, Learning & Development, and Talent Operations.
Key Responsibilities

• Prepare decision-ready recommendations for development investment where escalation is required
• Partner to gain approval on recommendations and communicate decisions appropriately

Follow-Through, Progress Tracking, and Impact Visibility

• Ensure selected talent actions are activated, sequenced, and completed
• Track progress against intended outcomes and surface risks early
• Partner with HRBPs and managers to reinforce accountability for development follow-through
• Provide clear, concise updates on pipeline status, action progress, and emerging concerns

• Partner with HRBPs to align talent to the right pipeline segments and actions
• Collaborate with L&D to align programs and experiences to pipeline needs

• Familiarity with talent assessment concepts (360s, developmental assessments) and how results inform development

• Comfort operating in resource-lean environments with high visibility and accountability
• Master's degree in HR, OD, Psychology, or related field
