This isn’t a maintenance role. It’s a builder role.

Our client is one of the largest and most celebrated pediatric health systems in the country — an organization where the mission isn’t a tagline, it’s the reason people come to work every day. This newly elevated role gives you the scope and the mandate to genuinely move the needle: owning performance management, succession planning, and the launch of an enterprise-wide mentoring program, all from strategy through execution. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Talent Development & Learning, you’ll partner with HR leadership and business leaders across the enterprise to build programs that last.

What you’ll do

• Lead the annual performance review process (PEAC), including goal setting, skills assessments, and year-end evaluations
• Drive quarterly talent reviews and succession planning with leadership teams, identifying high-potential employees for development
• Design and launch a structured, enterprise-wide mentoring program — from framework to culture
• Build career pathing and internal mobility frameworks that help employees see — and reach — their next step
• Analyze engagement and performance data to surface trends and present insights to senior HR leadership
• Guide and coach managers on performance best practices, feedback, and development planning
• Collaborate with HR and the Learning & Leadership Innovation COE to implement innovative career advancement initiatives

What you’ll bring

• 5+ years in corporate learning & development; 3+ years in a leadership capacity
• Deep, hands-on experience with performance cycles, talent calibrations, and succession planning
• Proven experience launching or scaling a mentorship or career development program
• Familiarity with career pathing frameworks
• Strong facilitation, communication, and stakeholder management skills at all levels
• Bachelor’s degree required; graduate degree or L&D/talent certification a plus
• Comfort navigating HRIS and talent platforms (experience with Phenom a plus); a project management mindset
