About The Position

Global Workforce Architecture Expert Join us to build the core foundations of a global skills-based organization. We’ve just implemented a new global Job Architecture — a major milestone in our transformation — and we’re now entering an exciting next chapter: stabilizing and governing the Job Architecture globally and designing the enterprise Skills Framework and taxonomy that will shape every talent process of the future. To accelerate this journey, we are looking for a Global Job Architecture & Skills Framework Specialist — a systems thinker, a framework builder, and a connector who can turn complex people data and talent processes into clear, structured models that scale worldwide. If you love designing frameworks, bringing structure to ambiguity, and shaping the foundations for a global skills-based ecosystem, this is the role for you. What will be your mission ? As a core member of the Global Talent Management Center of Excellence (COE), you will help define how jobs, skills, and career pathways are structured, governed, and used across the organization.

• This experience must include hands-on responsibility for designing, maintaining, or evolving job architectures, career frameworks, skills frameworks, or capability models within a complex and/or global organization, as well as experience contributing to HR transformation initiatives, model design efforts, or HRIS-related implementations, including:

• Experience partnering across HR, HR Technology, and business stakeholders to align requirements, resolve trade-offs, and drive adoption.
