• Scale Manager & Team Enablement: Identify core capabilities gaps alongside HRBPs to design and deliver practical manager workshops, learning tracks, and career pathing resources.

• Measure Program Effectiveness: Establish clear program success metrics (participation, eNPS, retention, cycle completion).

• End-to-End Ownership: Proven track record of taking program concepts from initial design to full rollout, including change management and communications.

• Analytical & Empathetic: Skilled at identifying human trends behind raw survey data and converting friction points into practical solutions.

• Strong Communication & Facilitation Skills: Comfortable leading manager workshops, and writing clear internal communications.

• Inclusion Mindset: Experience embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion principles into program design and supporting ERGs.
