Talent Management & Development

• Own the talent management agenda for your business groups - from identifying capability gaps today to building the pipeline the business needs tomorrow.
• Design and maintain competency frameworks that define what great looks like at every level; keep them connected to hiring and real career conversations, not just documentation.

• Own succession planning for critical roles within your business groups - proactively identifying and developing internal candidates so the business is never caught unprepared.
• Conduct ongoing learning needs assessments across your population; translate findings into targeted development interventions - whether that's a formal program, a stretch assignment, a mentoring relationship, or an external resource
• Partner with HR leadership and external vendors to design, source, and deliver learning programs that build capability at scale.

• Support internal mobility by helping employees understand career pathways and actively connecting talent to opportunities across the business.
• Build a culture of continuous feedback and development within your business groups - making growth a lived experience, not an annual event.
