About The Position

If you are seeking to gain elite, hands-on experience driving human capital strategy within a private equity portfolio environment - a highly sought-after executive capability - this role is for you. We are a fast-paced, private equity-backed global company laser-focused on business transformation, operational velocity, and sustainable value creation. To support our transformation agenda, we are seeking a commercially minded, data savvy, high-velocity Manager of Talent Management to join our team in Houston. This is not a traditional, administrative HR role. This is a highly strategic specialist position designed specifically for an experienced HR Business Partner (HRBP) or Talent Specialist who understands how talent directly drives EBITDA and business execution. Operating in a high-impact environment, you will play a key role in designing, operationalizing, and scaling our global talent architecture - including performance management systems, strategic succession planning, global talent calibration and job architecture - as well as culture alignment programs.

Requirements

5 to 10 years of progressive experience within Human Resources, demonstrating strong achievements as an HR Business Partner (HRBP) or as a Specialist inside Talent Management.
A proven track record as an impactful HR Generalist/HRBP who is looking to pivot, specialize, and master global Talent Management architecture.
Strong business orientation. You understand how corporate strategies translate directly into talent demands and have a bias toward operational clarity.
Exceptional organization and project management capability. You prioritize robust, straightforward, formulaic solutions over highly complex, bureaucratic HR theories.
Strong executive presence and critical thinking. You are comfortable challenging conventional HR assumptions and offering objective, data-backed talent advice to stakeholders.
