We are looking for a Vice President of Talent Development to lead our global talent development strategy and execution. This role goes beyond traditional Learning & Development—it's about building a scalable, strategic framework that enables the business to grow and evolve through its people.

The VP of Talent Development will be responsible for shaping and driving the vision for how we assess, develop, and grow talent across the organization. You will partner closely with People Business Partners (PBPs), senior executives, and cross-functional leaders to embed talent strategies that directly support the company’s long-term goals. This includes performance management, talent reviews, succession planning, leadership development, and organizational capability building.
The ideal candidate brings deep experience in tech, has operated in global environments, and has seen scale. You are both a strategic thinker and an operational executor—capable of meeting the organization where it is while building toward a centralized and forward-looking talent strategy.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build a business-driven talent development strategy that activates internal mobility, capability growth, and leadership readiness as levers for scale.
• Develop and implement scalable frameworks and programs for performance management, 9-box talent reviews, succession planning, and internal mobility.

• Oversee and evolve the company’s leadership development approach, from emerging leaders to executives.
• Own and advance enterprise-wide learning strategies, creating engaging, practical learning experiences beyond traditional L&D offerings.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to executives, using data and insights to influence and drive adoption of talent strategies.
• Utilize talent intelligence and analytics that drive visibility into strengths, gaps, mobility opportunities, and strategic workforce needs.
• Lead change initiatives to transition the organization toward a more integrated and centralized approach to talent management.
• Oversee a high-performing team of talent development professionals to deliver scalable, creative, and culturally relevant solutions globally.
• Build and manage a high-performing Talent Development team to scale your impact.

• Strong understanding of organizational dynamics, business strategy, and how to align talent practices to support growth.
• Demonstrated ability to lead through change and influence leaders toward more standardized and scalable approaches.
