Responsibilities

Diagnose leadership and team effectiveness at the system level. Use evidence-based diagnostic methods — team assessments, 360 design and debrief, stakeholder interviews, organizational data — to identify root causes, not just symptoms. Translate diagnosis into actionable intervention design
Design and deliver high-impact leader and team interventions. Build and facilitate bespoke development experiences — team engagements, leadership alignment sessions, transition support, coaching engagements — that are grounded in diagnosis and connected to business outcomes. This is not templated training. It's sustained, expert-level partnership
Coach executive leaders using ICF-credentialed methodology. Provide 1:1 coaching that builds the leader's own capacity — not advisory feedback, but professional, evidence-based coaching rooted in the ICF framework. This includes educating leaders on how team and leadership development can impact their business and organizational needs
Serve as cross-company intelligence. Use the rotational deployment model to identify patterns, share insights, and transfer best practices across business groups. Bring an enterprise-wide perspective to every engagement — "here's what we're seeing across Meta, and here's what's working."
Build trusted partnerships with HR Business Partners to deliver leader and team engagements. Collaborate on intake, scoping, and alignment while maintaining the structural independence that enables candor and trust
Connect leaders to the full People Development ecosystem. Serve as a front door to exec dev experiences, coaching resources, growth programs, and skills development — ensuring leader development isn't a one-off intervention but part of a connected system
Support organizational and work environment transformation. Partner with leaders navigating large-scale change — reorgs, strategy shifts, AI transformation — with change management expertise that goes beyond process to address the leadership capability required to lead through disruption
Stay at the cutting edge of the craft. Bring current research, emerging practices, and outside perspective on leadership effectiveness, team dynamics, and organizational health — especially as AI reshapes what leadership looks like at scale
