Job Description
• Define the High-Performance Standard: Own the vision and design for an "employee-friendly" performance framework. You will integrate goal setting, feedback, and accountability into the daily flow of work, ensuring the process adds value rather than friction.
• Architect Leadership Programs: Design and launch high-impact development initiatives for both rising and senior leaders. You will move from vision to execution, creating cohort-based experiences that drive measurable improvements in leadership efficacy and business performance.
• Build Lyra’s "Performance Engine": Lead the global function that builds the systems, tools, and supports needed to scale high performance. You will ensure our talent readiness strategy (succession, talent reviews) is future-focused and data-driven.
• Product Mindset & Rapid Iteration: Apply a product design lens to HR—get stuff done, gather feedback, and improve. You understand that "perfect is the enemy of the good" and prioritize shipping impactful solutions that evolve with the business.
• Community Construction: Build and lead a small team of ICs, while collaborating deeply with the Global HRBP team, People Team COEs and senior leadership to ensure performance and development initiatives are designed with true cross-functional coordination and consider a diverse array of stakeholder needs.
• Tech-Forward Enablement: Strategically deploy GenAI and our in-house technology to accelerate learning, drive accessible learning, and produce insights that inform our long-term talent strategy.
