Manama, Manama, Bahrain Canonical Full time

At Canonical, we're building a future-focused Talent Development function that's driven to define the future of the workplace within a global, growing open source software company. As a pioneer in remote-first collaboration and employment, we're looking for a visionary leader to build our Talent Development team and enhance leadership and people management practices in our remote setting.

About Us

We're a profitable and growing company with over 1,200 colleagues across 75+ countries. Our mission is to create a new team focused on Talent Development to deepen our insights and effectiveness as a remote-first and globally distributed organization.

We know that being effective remotely requires discipline and good habits, and we'd like to invest in research needed to understand what really makes a distributed, remote-first workplace work. We're committed to investing in training and policymaking which enables it, and selection mechanisms that ensure consistency of behaviours.

As a Global Talent Development Director, you'll be responsible for defining and implementing an inspiring and comprehensive talent development program. You'll develop, drive, and embed effective programs of management and leadership development within our remote organization.

This role entails designing and delivering core training programs, partnering with specialist vendors where appropriate. You'll 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.

You'll set up a global learning framework for training and career fulfillment and build and manage a new team of Talent Development specialists. A data-focused lens will guide your understanding of trends to strategize and define career development frameworks.

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're recruiting globally and believe we're bringing in outstanding new colleagues in a fearlessly global way.
