As Program Director, Talent Development, you’ll shape how thousands of employees grow, advance, and thrive — at one of the nation’s most respected and mission-driven healthcare organizations.
This isn’t a maintenance role. It’s a builder role.
Our client is one of the largest and most celebrated pediatric health systems in the country — an organization where the mission isn’t a tagline, it’s the reason people come to work every day. This newly elevated role gives you the scope and the mandate to genuinely move the needle: owning performance management, succession planning, and the launch of an enterprise-wide mentoring program, all from strategy through execution. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Talent Development & Learning, you’ll partner with HR leadership and business leaders across the enterprise to build programs that last.
What you’ll do
- Lead the annual performance review process (PEAC), including goal setting, skills assessments, and year-end evaluations
- Drive quarterly talent reviews and succession planning with leadership teams, identifying high-potential employees for development
- Design and launch a structured, enterprise-wide mentoring program — from framework to culture
- Build career pathing and internal mobility frameworks that help employees see — and reach — their next step
- Analyze engagement and performance data to surface trends and present insights to senior HR leadership
- Guide and coach managers on performance best practices, feedback, and development planning
- Collaborate with HR and the Learning & Leadership Innovation COE to implement innovative career advancement initiatives
What you’ll bring
- 5+ years in corporate learning & development; 3+ years in a leadership capacity
- Deep, hands-on experience with performance cycles, talent calibrations, and succession planning
- Proven experience launching or scaling a mentorship or career development program
- Familiarity with career pathing frameworks
- Strong facilitation, communication, and stakeholder management skills at all levels
- Bachelor’s degree required; graduate degree or L&D/talent certification a plus
- Comfort navigating HRIS and talent platforms (experience with Phenom a plus); a project management mindset
Why consider this opportunity
This organization is nationally recognized for clinical excellence — and equally serious about the people behind that care. You’ll join an HR team that has executive sponsorship, the resources to execute, and a genuine belief that talent development is mission-critical. Comprehensive benefits, competitive compensation, and the kind of organizational culture where your work will be seen and valued.
