We're seeking a Global Talent Management Leader to continue to transform and drive GHD's enterprise talent management strategy and lead our global Talent Management Team. As a member of the Executive People Leadership Team (EPLT), you will help translate our ambitious growth priorities into workforce capability, succession depth, leadership readiness, and internal talent development. Partnering across the People function and business, you will strengthen the use of talent insights, workforce data, and technology-enabled decision support to inform talent decisions, align talent priorities to business needs, and support the delivery of GHD's strategic priorities.
This is a chance to help define the next stage of Talent Management at GHD, building a connected, insight-led approach to how we identify, develop, and strengthen talent globally. Your leadership will help senior leaders make clearer talent choices, focus development investment where it matters most, and build stronger succession, capability, and leadership pipeline plans.
As a strategic global leader, you will set direction for the function, lead the team to embed talent frameworks, and support better, data-led decisions across the business. By connecting key talent practices and insights, the role gives leaders clearer visibility of talent risks, readiness, and investment priorities.
In partnership with business leaders and People colleagues, you will improve the quality and use of workforce and talent information, clarify talent practices in a matrixed environment, build talent from within, and support adoption of consistent talent approaches across the enterprise.
This role can be based in any of our offices across the Greater Toronto Area or in Waterloo.
