About The Position

The Head of Talent Management Strategy leads Jazz Pharmaceuticals' enterprise talent management strategy: how the organization identifies, assesses, develops, and moves talent. As a Strategic COE leader, this person sets the value-driven talent strategy, builds the enterprise talent assessment methodology, identifies critical roles, talent pools, owns leadership pipeline and succession planning, and shapes performance management and career pathing/talent mobility approaches used across the business. This is a highly visible role partnering directly with senior business leaders and HRBPs on leadership bench strength and critical talent development.
