Job Details

Our client's Talent & Performance team operates with a shared commitment to cultivating a culture of execution. Our values (TOPIC) and leadership principles (HUMAN) are the foundation for how we work-with clarity, accountability, and outcome-oriented collaboration. Every initiative, decision, andbehavior is aligned with these principles to build trust, teamship, and alignment.

This contract role is open because we need leaders who thrive in high-impact, fast-moving environments and are relentless about delivering results. You'll be empowered to drive talent programs that create real business value and strengthen our culture.

This is not a traditional HR or HRBP role. Instead, it is a data-driven program/project management position within the Talent function, focused on driving execution and adoption of ongoing initiatives rather than designing HR policies.

• Strong program/project management experience (preferably within Talent/HR environments)
• Proven ability to drive initiatives forward independently in fast-paced settings
• Experience working in smaller or high-growth organizations where adaptability and ownership are key
• Comfortable leveraging data and analytics to inform decisions
• Open to using AI tools and automation (experience is a plus)
• Strong attention to UX and end-user impact, especially for internal tools/platform

• Lead and land global and regional talent development programs with a focus on delivering business impact-not just hitting delivery dates
• Operate across both strategic and tactical levels to co-create, launch, iterate, and optimize talent solutions; step in wherever needed to move the team forward
• Build trust through consistent, high-quality execution; ensure all actions are aligned to client's mission and values
• Proactively communicate concise, action-based updates; surface risks and progress early to maintain momentum
• Actively collaborate across functions, challenge ideas with constructive feedback, and commit to decisions post-debate
• Champion continuous improvement, keeping outcomes, impact, and velocity at the forefront

• Proven ability to deliver large-scale talent development projects/programs with measurable business impact
• Strong operational and program management skills-including strategic planning, change enablement, and hands-on execution
• Experience collaborating with senior leaders and diverse, global teams; able to drive shared ownership, co-creation, and fast results
• Relentless commitment to accountability, outcome-focused execution, and iterative improvement
• Direct communication style; brings clarity, challenges constructively, and pushes for the best solutions
• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively under ambiguity, and switch between high-level strategy and tactical detail
• Values simplicity, substance, and velocity; avoids overcomplication and focuses on landing meaningful outcomes
• Minimum 6 years progressive people program experience (high-growth, fast paced environments preferred)

• GSuite, Slack
• Workday
• Visier or Tableau (analytics)
• Asana
• Exposure to custom-built HR/Talent analytics tools is a plus
