Job Title: Director, Talent Management

About the Role:

As a Director on the Talent Management team, you will build the Talent that gives life to our Village. Our team strives to ensure all teammates have fulfilling careers and that DaVita remains an Employer of Choice.

In this role, you will architect the performance & development culture for our 55,000+ teammates, ensuring every individual knows their impact, understands how they can continuously grow, and has a clear path forward. By developing the tools, processes, and mindsets that sustain performance & development across the teammate lifecycle, you will shape the direction of our talent strategy and leave a lasting legacy on Village talent.

You will report to the Sr. Director of Talent Management, and act as a key collaborator to leaders across Talent Management & Development and the broader People Teams.

What You'll Do:

• Shape Strategy & Own Execution: Develop and own the short-to-midterm strategy for performance management within a broader talent system. You will proactively tackle complex, large-scale challenges to establish key performance indicators (KPIs), evolve performance standards (e.g. AI fluency), continuous listening loops, and metrics that continuously raise the bar for performance.

• Drive End-to-End Solutions: Design, deploy, and refine the infrastructure that enables leaders to drive clarity and performance - including calibration governance, performance reviews, performance standards input, continuous feedback, and goal-setting. Execute solutions in partnership with HRBPs to ensure solutions are equitable and "stick" across the teammate lifecycle.

• Link Performance to Rewards: Partner closely with Total Rewards to ensure that performance calibration and evaluation directly and equitably inform merit and bonus cycles.

• Lead Cross-Functionally: Work with leaders across lanes (e.g., Talent Acquisition, Onboarding, Learning & Development, HR Business Partners, People Insights & Analytics) to translate strategy into broad action and deliver on Village-wide goals. Establish loops with Internal Mobility and Talent Planning to ensure we are growing the right teammates to succeed in future roles.

• Influence & Innovate: Collaborate across people teams and lane leaders to solve challenges and deliver innovations. Communicate compellingly to drive support and commitment from senior executives to front-line teammates.

Who You Are:

• Experienced Leader: 7+ years of experience in strategy development, managing a diverse portfolio of strategic projects, scaled deployments, change management, and cross-functional leadership. Experience managing a direct report while driving results through a matrixed staffing structure.

• Strategic & Systems Thinker: Proven track record of shaping strategy, navigating ambiguity, and creating alignment with executives and key stakeholders on undefined problems.

• Execution-Oriented Partner : Demonstrated ability to oversee large-scale, multi-phased strategic initiatives, effectively leveraging project management support to balance high-level vision with tactical delivery.

• Change Agent: Cultivates drive in self and others to embrace change. Anticipates roadblocks and engages the right resources to successfully drive organizational transformation.

• Exceptional Communicator: Strong written and oral communication skills, with the ability to adapt your message to gain buy-in and respectfully influence decision-making at all levels.

• HR Technology Enthusiast: Familiarity with enterprise HRIS platforms (e.g., Workday) and experience leveraging technology to scale performance management solutions.

• Data-Driven Problem Solver: Ability to analyze large data sets, identify trends, and translate insights into actionable strategies that improve outcomes.

• Education: Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree in Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology, Organizational Development, Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field is strongly preferred.

What We'll Provide:

More than just pay, our DaVita Rewards package connects teammates to what matters most. Teammates are eligible to begin receiving benefits on the first day of the month following or coinciding with one month of continuous employment. Below are some of our benefit offerings.

• Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, paid time off, PTO cash out

• Professional development programs: DaVita offers a variety of programs to help strong performers grow within their career and also offers on-demand virtual leadership and development courses through DaVita's online training platform StarLearning.
