Regional Talent Development Leader, South Region (Bilingual)

Regional Talent Development Leader, South Super Region

Reports To: VP, Talent and Organizational Development (solid line) and SVP, People and Strategy (dotted line)

Position Summary

The Regional Talent Development Leader will join a high-performing team of talent professionals who are well respected and valued for their expertise, ability to deliver high quality work, effective collaboration style, and for being strong stewards of the evolution of our HR function.

This role is a member of the Corporate Talent team with oversight for the entire South Super Region. Though it reports directly to the VP, Talent and Organizational Development, it has a very strong relationship with the SVP, HR for the South.

This is a highly visible role that operates at two levels simultaneously building regional capability and responding to local business needs, while contributing meaningfully to the design and delivery of enterprise-wide programs and initiatives. Balance is critical; to be successful, the right candidate will know when and how to roll up their sleeves to address regional needs, they will know when to adapt enterprise solutions for local contexts, and when to raise regional insights to help share enterprise direction or programs. They will know how to work at both strategic and hands-on execution levels.

The ideal candidate knows what it means to be a trusted consultant and partner to their stakeholders proactively anticipating needs, initiating conversations, and bringing solutions before problems are raised.
