Establish a coherent leadership development architecture (e.g., first‑time manager, experienced leader, senior leader) with clear outcomes, readiness expectations, and measurement.
Design and deliver core learning experiences focused on leadership effectiveness, manager capability, performance leadership, decision making, and enterprise behaviors.
Build scalable approaches to formal learning, experiential learning, and on‑the‑job development, translating business challenges into development opportunities.
Ensure learning solutions are practical, applied, and measurable, not event‑based or theoretical.
Own FormFactor’s enterprise engagement and listening strategy, including survey design, pulse listening, focus groups, and other feedback mechanisms.
Translate engagement and culture data into clear insights, risks, and prioritized actions for leaders at all levels.
Define, operationalize, and reinforce FormFactor’s culture and leadership behaviors, ensuring alignment between stated values, leader actions, and employee experience.
Monitor engagement, culture, and organizational health trends over time and surface enterprise‑level risks and opportunities.
Design and deploy organizational development approaches that strengthen team effectiveness, decision clarity, accountability, and execution.
Support leaders through periods of growth, change, and transformation with structured OD tools (e.g., role clarity, operating rhythm, capability assessments).
Serve as the business owner for learning, engagement, and OD‑related tools, platforms, and vendor solutions.
Partner closely with HRIS, IT, and vendors to translate business needs into system requirements and scalable solutions.
Leverage data, analytics, and AI‑enabled tools to improve learning personalization, leader insight, engagement analysis, and operational efficiency.
Ensure the responsible, ethical, and transparent use of AI that strengthens—rather than replaces—human judgment and leadership.
Provide clear analysis, insights, and recommendations on leadership effectiveness, engagement, culture, and organizational capability to inform leadership decisions.
Deliver executive‑ready narratives, dashboards, and materials that connect learning, engagement, and culture to business performance and outcomes.
Partner cross‑functionally with HRBPs, Rewards, Communications, Finance, Legal, IT, and other internal and external partners to ensure alignment and execution.
Define and own measurement frameworks for learning impact, leadership effectiveness, engagement, and culture.
Track outcomes (not just participation), using data to evaluate effectiveness and guide iteration and investment.
Continuously benchmark external best practices and evolve offerings as FormFactor grows in scale, complexity, and global reach.
