Workforce Development & Transformation Leader

PVM, Inc.•San Diego, CA

About The Position

The Workforce Development & Transformation (WD&T) Leader is a strategic seat on the PVM Leadership Team. This is not a traditional HR role. It is the function that determines whether PVM’s growth ambitions are staffed for success — or stalled by talent constraints. You will own the people infrastructure that makes PVM scalable: talent strategy, LMA (Lead, Manage, hold Accountable) discipline company-wide, learning and development, workforce transformation, and culture management. You will lead two direct reports — People Experience and Talent Acquisition — and be responsible for building a Talent Engine playbook that works in every hub PVM enters. This seat reports directly to the Integrator (COO) and operates with a company-wide lens. When you’re functioning well in this seat, the Integrator is fully out of WD&T operations. That’s the goal.

Requirements

You have led talent strategy in a growth-stage, services-based environment. GovCon or defense contracting experience is strongly preferred.
You understand EOS or a comparable operating system — or you learn operating systems fast and do not resist structure.
You build systems, not programs. The difference matters. Programs end; systems scale.
You can operate at the strategic layer (workforce planning, organizational design, culture architecture) and the operational layer (managing direct reports, running a hiring process, tracking metrics) without dropping either.
You have managed managers — you understand that your job is to make the people who manage people better, not to insert yourself into individual decisions.
You are not squeamish about accountability. You believe in honest, grounded conversations, and you model that in how you manage your own team.
You are energized by the complexity of a growing organization. You see the gap between where PVM is and where it’s going, and you want to build the people infrastructure to close it.
You are cleared or clearable. PVM’s work is in the national security space; culture alignment with the mission matters.
