The company is founder led, profitable and growing. We are building a Talent Development function that is future focused and driven to define the future of the workplace, within a global, growing open source software company, pioneers in remote-first collaboration and employment. This is an opportunity for a person with outstanding leadership, organisation and intellect, to build our Talent Development team to enhance our leadership and people management practices in our remote setting. We are now 1,200+ colleagues across 75+ countries. We would like to create a new team to focus on Talent Development - to deepen our insights and effectiveness as a remote-first and globally distributed organisation.

We'd like to understand what really makes a distributed, remote-first workplace work. We think we're pretty good at this, remote-first for almost 20 years, but we know there is a lot still to understand, and the frontier of possibility continues to move outward. We'd like to invest in research, analytics and tooling which raises the bar even further for remote collaboration, organisation and leadership.

This role is the fourth remaining Lead role in our People function, which is a cross-disciplinary group of organisational psychologists, engineers, statistics / analytics experts, talent science and employee relations specialists. We are recruiting globally, and believe we are bringing in outstanding new colleagues in a way that is fearlessly global. Naturally, they come from a wide range of backgrounds, norms and experiences, and our goal in setting up the Talent Development team is simply to lead the leaders to a position of consistent clarity on who we are, how we roll, and how that changes over time. Location: This role will be based remotely in the EMEA region. The role entails: Define and implement an inspiring and comprehensive talent development program Develop, drive and embed effective programs of management and leadership development within our remote organisation Design and deliver core training programs, partnering with specialist vendors where appropriate Create and implement leadership performance indicators and metrics Own our leadership skills matrix for performance management, talent assessment, succession planning, mentorship, virtual learning and career development.
