Manager of Talent & Development - The Brydon Group

Manager Of Talent And Development

The Manager Of Talent And Development will be a core member of Brydon's talent team, reporting directly to the Head Of Talent. This is a dual-mandate role: one part focused on designing and delivering talent development programming across Brydon's internal team and portfolio company leadership, and one part focused on serving as a hands-on talent advisor to portfolio company executives.

This role is ideal for a people professional who has designed and run leadership development programs, thrives building relationships with senior executives, and is energized by working in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment where they will own meaningful work from concept to execution.

• Own and continuously improve Brydon's talent development calendar and roadmap, balancing structured programming with responsive, just-in-time support

• Coordinate and manage external coaches, facilitators, and development partners as needed to supplement internal programming
• Build and maintain a knowledge base of best practices, development resources, and frameworks that can be leveraged across the Brydon ecosystem
• Track and measure program effectiveness, iterating continuously to improve quality and impact

Talent Advisory

• Serve as a trusted advisor to portfolio company CEOs and senior leadership teams on people strategy, organizational design, and leadership development — building the kind of ongoing relationships where executives seek you out proactively
• Support CEO and executive onboarding at newly acquired portfolio companies, ensuring leaders have the resources, frameworks, and connections to ramp effectively into their roles
• Identify talent patterns and gaps across the portfolio, and develop scalable solutions — programs, tools, and resources — that address shared challenges across companies
• Collaborate with Brydon's investment and portfolio operations teams to align talent initiatives with each company's value creation plan
• Bring market intelligence and fresh thinking on talent trends to the team and to portfolio company partners — synthesizing insights from across the industry into actionable guidance
