Role Summary
The Integrated Operations Partner – Workforce Catalyst exists to provide the operational infrastructure and cross-functional coordination the Workforce Catalyst network needs to activate and scale effectively across Reinvention Partners. As the Catalyst function matures, this role serves as the primary Integrated Operations touchpoint for the network — helping translate the emerging Catalyst operating model into disciplined, connected execution while keeping that work anchored to Talent RP's broader priorities, governance, and operating rhythm. Unlike other IO Partner roles serving established segments, this role carries an explicit responsibility to help build the operational conditions for Catalyst success while simultaneously supporting activation and performance visibility across the network. The role works closely with the Associate IO Lead and interfaces directly with Catalyst network leadership, Offering Development, Growth & Strategy, and Sales Excellence.
Key Responsibilities
Operating model activation — supports the development and operationalization of the Workforce Catalyst operating model, helping establish consistent ways of working, clear expectations, and scalable activation approaches across functional Catalyst leads and their respective Reinvention Partner contexts
Funding and investment coordination — supports Growth Arena funding opportunities across the Catalyst network, coordinating investment requests, tracking funding status, and ensuring Catalyst leads have the operational support needed to develop, submit, and manage funding cases through the appropriate governance processes
GTM activation and performance visibility — translates Catalyst GTM priorities into integrated execution support, tracking activation progress across Reinvention Partners, surfacing performance signals and adoption gaps, and providing Catalyst network leadership with a clear, current view of what is working and where intervention is needed
Cross-functional coordination — acts as the connective tissue between Workforce Catalysts, Offering Leads, and Offering Development — including coordination of workforce reinvention content integration into Reinvention Studio — ensuring that Catalyst-facing priorities are coherently supported rather than fragmented across functions
IO system navigation — ensures the Catalyst network benefits from the full range of IO and central LEAP capabilities, representing Catalyst needs in broader Talent RP prioritization conversations and ensuring execution gaps are surfaced and resolved through the right channels
What This Role Does Not Do
Does not own Workforce Catalyst strategy, content development, or Growth Arena decision-making — strategy and investment priority decisions remain with Catalyst network leadership and Talent RP leadership
Does not provide individualized 1:1 support to each Catalyst lead — focus is on network-wide priorities, patterns, and activation rather than bespoke support for individual Catalyst engagements
Does not duplicate capabilities owned within Offering Development, Sales Excellence, Growth & Strategy, or other functional teams — the role coordinates and enables rather than owns functional delivery
Does not own Reinvention Studio content or development — the role coordinates Catalyst input and integration with Offering Development, not the Studio build itself
Does not act as an ad hoc problem-solver for one-off requests — emphasis is placed on scalable, repeatable approaches that work across the full Catalyst network
Profile for Success
Credible senior operator with strong business judgment and the ability to build trusted relationships across an emerging, matrixed network without a fully defined leadership hierarchy in place
Comfortable operating in ambiguity — able to help build an operating model while simultaneously supporting its activation, without waiting for perfect conditions to add value
Strong systems thinker who can connect funding, activation,…
