As a Strategic ESBP Director, you will be a lead architect of our people strategy, acting as a "trusted advisor" to senior executives (Sr. Director+). You won't just implement strategy; you will help write it. This role is designed for a visionary leader who thrives on organizational design, leadership coaching, and navigating complex global digital policies to ensure our workforce is prepared for the future of AI and cloud innovation.

Requirements

• Strategic Experience: 8+ years of experience as an HR/ES Business Partner or in a similar strategic talent advisory role, with a proven track record of supporting executive-level clients.

• Change Leadership: Demonstrated experience leading organizations through large-scale transformations, utilizing formal change management models to improve culture and effectiveness.
• Data Literacy: Ability to analyze complex datasets and "connect the dots" between people metrics and business outcomes.
• Relationship Building: A natural ability to build high-trust, collaborative relationships across diverse teams and formal/informal networks.

Nice To Haves

• Talent Development Expertise: Specialized knowledge in executive coaching, high-potential assessment tools, and building diverse leadership pipelines.
• Innovation Mindset: Experience working in high-growth SaaS or AI-driven environments where agility and "fearless invention" are required.

Responsibilities

• Operational Excellence: Lead critical talent cycles including succession planning, merit and compensation reviews, and workforce planning. You will act as "Customer Zero," testing and refining internal initiatives before they are scaled to the broader organization.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: "Form the table" by mobilizing stakeholders across Legal, Finance, and HR Centers of Excellence (COEs). You will bridge the gap between global corporate strategy and local business needs, including managing location strategy and executive spans/ratios.
• Analytics & Impact Measurement: Use data-driven insights to monitor organizational health. You will connect engagement data (from GIS surveys) to tangible business metrics like revenue per employee and retention risk.
