About The Position

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of measurably improving leaders and an instinct for anticipating people and organizational issues. The role reports to the Director of People and operates as a senior individual contributor embedded in the business.

Strong talent assessment instincts, with measurable outcomes in leadership growth, retention, and team effectiveness.

Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with a bias for action.
Bring structure and process where needed to unlock scale, clarity, and stronger execution.
