Responsibilities:
Keep Talent Commitments Moving
Maintain an ongoing follow-up rhythm between formal talent cycles so development commitments remain active, progress is reviewed, and next steps are clear.
Work with leaders and HR partners to ensure development plans have clear owners, timing, success measures, and practical follow-through.
Share accountability for momentum and progress by helping leaders and HR partners keep talent actions visible, specific, and connected to business needs.
Help remove barriers when development actions are delayed, deprioritized, unclear, or not producing the expected movement.
Stay engaged through execution, helping leaders and HR partners course-correct when progress slows or ownership is unclear.
Strengthen Development Plans and Individual Progression
Convert talent review, succession, and pipeline discussions into practical development actions tied to readiness goals, needed experiences, and development milestones.
Meet regularly with identified talent to understand development needs, career direction, readiness progression, and barriers that may be slowing growth.
Help connect individuals to experiences, exposure, sponsorship, coaching, or development actions that support readiness for broader or more complex roles.
Apply talent expertise to help shape practical solutions when development plans are not clear, not actionable, or not producing meaningful progress.
Surface development, retention, readiness, or exposure concerns when additional action is needed.
Apply an Objective Talent Lens
Use data and evidence to pressure-test succession readiness, development progress, and the strength of proposed talent pathways.
Consider talent data, demonstrated performance, executive assessment insights, development progress, leader input, and associate perspective when evaluating readiness and progression.
Challenge vague development plans, unclear ownership, unsupported readiness assumptions, or stalled follow-through in a direct and constructive way.
Help leaders and HR partners consider whether the development strategy, successor path, or readiness assessment should be adjusted when progress is not meeting expectations.
Support Pipeline Health and Readiness
Play an active role in strengthening BD’s priority talent pipelines and the talent populations that support them.
Actively monitor readiness progression, development movement, bench strength, and talent risks across priority populations.
Identify where pipelines are not building talent at the pace or depth the business requires.
Most importantly, bring clear insight and practical recommendations to leaders and HR partners so they can make timely decisions about development, movement, exposure, or support.
Connect Tools, Resources, and Expertise
Leverage available talent tools, executive assessments, coaching resources,…
