Job description
We are looking for a Director, Executive Talent Experiences to reimagine how we develop, enable, and support our most senior leaders
This is not a traditional learning and development role
It sits at the intersection of executive development, organizational change, executive operations, talent strategy, and AI
The person in this role will design and orchestrate high-impact experiences that help senior leaders change how they lead, make better decisions, and scale their impact across the organization
Define and evolve the strategy for executive talent experiences across the company, aligned to business strategy and the capabilities required for the next generation of leaders
Design distinctive, high-impact experiences for executives and senior leaders that drive measurable changes in leadership behavior, decision-making, and organizational performance
Translate business priorities, leadership challenges, and organizational shifts into targeted development experiences, interventions, and moments that matter
Reimagine executive development beyond traditional courses and workshops through experiences, simulations, coaching, peer learning, real-work application, and AI-enabled development
Build differentiated experiences for different executive populations, leadership moments, and business contexts
Bring an AI-first approach to learning
Serve as a thought leader on the future of executive learning and development in an AI-enabled organization
Explore and apply AI to personalize development journeys, generate insights, create simulations and scenarios, augment coaching, and make learning more continuous and embedded in leaders’ day-to-day work
Experiment rapidly with emerging AI capabilities and translate them into practical, high-quality executive experiences
Design for a world where leaders can learn in the flow of work, leverage AI as a thought partner, and receive highly personalized development support
Establish principles and standards for responsible, high-quality use of AI in executive talent experiences
Operate with a true chief-of-staff mindset: anticipate needs, understand context, connect dots, manage details, and ensure every executive interaction feels intentional and seamless
Partner closely with executives, chiefs of staff, executive assistants, HR business partners, talent leaders, and other senior stakeholders to understand needs and deliver exceptional experiences
Prepare leaders and stakeholders for critical moments such as leadership transitions, strategic shifts, executive offsites, succession discussions, major organizational changes, and executive onboarding
Bring rigor and polish to the end-to-end experience, from design and preparation through delivery, follow-through, and measurement
Build deep trust with senior leaders and become a credible thought partner on leadership and talent
Build Executive Talent and Succession synergies
Partner with senior HR and business leaders to strengthen executive talent strategy, including succession planning, executive readiness, talent reviews, and leadership pipelines
Identify critical capabilities and experiences leaders need to be ready for future roles and increasingly complex business challenges
Connect executive development more explicitly to talent decisions, succession, mobility, and organizational capability
Develop mechanisms to identify emerging leadership needs and create targeted development responses before gaps become business problems
Use talent and organizational data to surface trends, risks, and opportunities across the executive population
Develop frameworks, operating rhythms, and mechanisms that make executive development more consistent, scalable, and measurable
Build systems that connect insights from executive development, talent reviews, succession, organizational changes, and business performance
Establish meaningful measures of impact that go beyond participation and satisfaction to assess behavior change, leadership effectiveness, organizational outcomes, and talent movement
Use data, qualitative insight, and executive feedback to continuously improve experiences
Balance bespoke executive experiences with scalable solutions that can evolve with the organization
—-WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE—-
Executives experience development that is relevant, personalized, high-value, and worthy of their time
Leadership experiences lead to observable changes in behavior, decision-making, and organizational impact
Executive development is tightly connected to business strategy, succession, and the future capabilities of the organization
