About the Role As a Manager, Talent Acceleration (tX) / Talent Development for North America, you will drive initiatives that build organizational and leadership capabilities and accelerate performance across the region. This is a strategic individual‑contributor role that translates business priorities into integrated talent solutions—from diagnosis to design to measurable impact. You will partner with senior leaders and HRBPs as a design partner for the region, shaping how we develop talent at scale, contributing to design and delivery standards, and ensuring initiatives reach the finish line. The role requires a strategic thinker who brings clarity to ambiguous environments and holds themselves accountable to measurable outcomes. What You’ll Do Lead the design and delivery of talent and organizational development solutions—scoping through execution, measurement, and iteration. Act as a thought partner to HRBPs and business leaders, connecting capability gaps to actionable development solutions and shaping the talent agenda for the region. Partner with regional tX teams to build programs once and localize them rather than reinventing per region, contributing to shared design and delivery standards. Drive adoption and engagement through rigorous, data‑ and evidence‑based program design—ensuring initiatives deliver measurable impact. Support cross‑functional alignment across tX priorities—keeping initiatives moving quickly and stakeholders engaged. Manage a portfolio of concurrent talent initiatives, clarifying priorities, sequencing trade‑offs, and proactively surfacing risks and recommendations. Prepare and present talent insights, program proposals, and initiative updates to senior leadership—communicating with clarity and confidence at the Director and VP level. Flex to where the business needs you; no task is too big or too small. You’ll roll up your sleeves on details and step back to shape strategy, depending on what the moment calls for. What You’ll Bring / Who You Are 5–8 years of experience in talent management, learning & development, or organizational development, with a track record of solving problems end‑to‑end. Experience leading program design, ideally within a high‑growth, global consumer products or technology company. A bachelor’s degree is required; a master’s in OD, I/O Psychology, Adult Learning, or a related field is preferred. AI‑fluent—this is a must. You actively use AI in your own work and bring fluency in AI‑enabled learning tools to design and delivery. Highly agile with a can‑do attitude—no task is too big or too small, and you can flex based on what the business needs. Strong relationship builder—building trust quickly and driving impact across functions, combining relationship instincts with a results orientation. Strong design instincts and solid grounding in instructional and learning experience design—building frameworks that scale, not one‑off solutions. Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business priorities into structured, scalable talent solutions, and to influence stakeholders across functions and regions without formal authority. Comfortable operating in fast‑paced, high‑growth build‑phase environments—balancing strategic thinking with disciplined execution and a bias toward outcomes over activity. Experience applying change‑management principles to drive adoption—understanding that a great program nobody uses is not a success. Data‑fluent—comfortable defining success metrics, analyzing program effectiveness, and presenting insights to senior audiences.
