About The Position

At PAR, we’re building the next generation of talent systems where learning, leadership, and performance work together to fuel business growth and readiness for an AI-powered future.
As the Head of Global Talent Strategy, you’ll design and lead the enterprise-wide approach to talent acquisition, talent development, leadership readiness, and workforce capability building. You’ll own the global strategy that connects acquisition, learning, performance, and succession into one seamless ecosystem to build capability at every level, from early career to senior leaders.
This is a role for an architect and builder. Someone who sees talent as a system, connects the dots across programs, and turns insight into action.

Requirements

• 15+ years of progressive experience in Talent, Learning, or Organizational Development with global scope.
• A track record of designing and implementing enterprise talent strategies that link acquisition, development, performance, and succession.
• Experience leading leadership and capability programs that prepare organizations for transformation and growth.
• Strong understanding of career architectures, skill frameworks, and digital/AI readiness programs.
• Deep experience in succession planning, 360 feedback, and leadership assessment methodologies.
• Proven ability to connect data to action using analytics to measure impact and drive decisions.
• Comfort navigating M&A integration and talent assessment during periods of scale or change.
• Exceptional executive presence and influence skills, including Board-level exposure.
• A systems mindset and proven ability to translate how programs interconnect and design for scalability, not silos.
• A builder’s energy with a passion for rolling up your sleeves to prototype, test, and iterate.

Responsibilities

• Set the enterprise talent strategy that builds future workforce and leadership capability aligned to business priorities.
• Oversee the full talent ecosystem from university relations and early-career cohort programs to leadership development, succession planning, and performance management.
• Architect a global approach to talent acquisition and internal mobility — building systems, playbooks, and pipelines that connect how we attract, assess, and grow talent across regions. Enable internal movement as a core lever for development, readiness, and retention.
• Shape capability frameworks and skill taxonomies linked to our evolving career architecture and AI readiness roadmap.
• Own performance enablement systems including goal setting, feedback, and talent review tools that elevate accountability and clarity across the organization.
• Lead global learning and development strategy, integrating digital, technical, and leadership curricula that build both depth and agility.
• Partner with HRBPs, business leaders, and COEs to forecast emerging skill needs and direct investments toward the highest impact areas.
• Guide and govern enterprise tools and processes, including performance management, 360 assessments, succession planning, and learning platforms.
• Represent talent strategy at the executive and Board level, reporting on leadership pipeline strength, workforce readiness, and capability growth.
