Director of Performance Management and Talent Development

Role Description

The Director Performance Management and Talent Development is responsible for designing and building the end-to-end talent development architecture for Fanatics Commerce — owning performance management, succession planning, learning & development, and career frameworks as one integrated system grounded in BOLD.

• Design globally scalable talent practices that work across geographies and employee populations.
• Build tools and frameworks that enable HRBPs to deliver talent practices with confidence and consistency.
• Apply data, AI-enabled platforms, and talent technology to modernize how we develop and advance people.
• Partner with Talent Acquisition to close the loop between bench development and external sourcing — build-vs-buy discipline as a shared metric.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive HR experience with direct ownership of talent development, performance management, succession planning, and/or L&D — as a designer and builder of systems, not just an operator of them.
• 7+ years of team leadership experience.
• Proven track record building or significantly rebuilding talent frameworks in complex, matrixed, or high-growth organizations — you have created things that didn’t exist before.
• COE operating model experience — you understand the difference between owning execution and enabling it through an HRBP community, and you build for the person who must deploy what you design.
• Experience designing globally scalable talent practices that work across geographies and employee populations without requiring a different program for every market.
• Applied experience with modern learning and talent technology (LMS, performance platforms, assessment tools); genuine curiosity about AI-enabled development and how it is reshaping L&D and succession practice.

Requirements

• Deliver measurable results aligned to team, function, and company goals.
• Translate strategy into execution that drives business outcomes.
• Identify and act on opportunities to improve performance, efficiency, or growth.

Benefits

• Opportunity to contribute to a dynamic, fast-paced environment that thrives on collaboration and growth.
