Director, Talent Management & Planning
Our Director, Talent Management & Planning owns Ralliant's talent operating system: talent philosophy deployment, the annual performance cycle, talent reviews, succession frameworks, and workforce planning across our direct labor, professional, and executive populations. You partner closely with the Head of Talent & HR for Enterprise Functions and with senior HR and business leaders to deliver the talent strategies Ralliant needs to be successful. You bring data and rigor to how talent decisions get made, and you keep our practices simple enough that leaders use them without prompting. If you are a systems thinker who is credible with executives and sharp at assessing talent, we'd love to work with you.
Talent philosophy: Embed our talent philosophy into all remaining talent practices by the end of 2027, holding the standard consistently across the company so differentiation, transparency, and leader accountability show up in how leaders make talent decisions. Build HR excellence by upskilling our HR community in talent assessment and calibration, and build people-leader capability to execute our practices with confidence, working with Total Rewards, Leadership Development & Learning, and HR Technology.
Talent operating system: Own the unified cadence of goal setting, the annual performance cycle, calibration, talent reviews, succession, and workforce planning across the enterprise, built on an integrated talent plan. Drive flawless execution, own the talent scorecard that shows the impact of our practices, and redesign what stops producing decisions.
Succession & critical talent: Define the succession frameworks, criteria, and readiness definitions that give us honest visibility into bench strength and leadership risk. Partner with Operating Company and functional HR leaders and their business partners on the health of our talent pipelines, driving the assessment and development of critical talent pools and target roles, from early career and high potential through the executive pipeline.
Workforce planning: Own the workforce planning process and consult directly with Operating Company and functional Heads of HR and their business leaders, in consultation with our Organization Effectiveness and Talent Acquisition leaders, to deliver the plan for each business and function and the enterprise view for all of Ralliant. Build the buy-versus-build plan collaboratively, translating it into hiring plans with the Talent Acquisition leader and capability-building plans with the Organization Effectiveness leader.
