• Build strong partnerships across the P&C leadership team and directly with business leaders to ensure talent initiatives are embedded in how Gen operates.
• Lead and develop a Head of Talent Acquisition and the full TA and L&D teams, setting clear global programs and direction, building capability, and driving accountability for outcomes.

Requirements

You're a senior Talent leader with 10+ years of progressive HR/Talent leadership experience, owning both L&D and Talent Acquisition, or deep exposure to talent programs and former experience of building a bridge between company objectives and delivering solutions.

You have proven track record leading and developing HR teams in a complex, global, matrixed environment, and meaningful exposure to agile methodologies, product-oriented HR, or organizational design in the context of transformation.

You have experience in a technology or technology-adjacent company, understanding the pace, talent market, and constant change. Experience of M&A, due diligence, and integration planning and execution is preferred.

You are genuinely excited about AI, using it, building it in others, and evaluating your own work through an AI lens.

You are a systems thinker who can move between strategy and execution without losing the thread of either.

You have the executive presence and communication skills to hold your own in a room with the CHRO, business unit leaders, or a skeptical audience.

You build relationships quickly, build trust durably, and know how to influence without authority.

You operate with a learner's mindset, comfortable in ambiguity, willing to iterate, and energized rather than overwhelmed by a blank canvas.

You bring an opinion, pushing back thoughtfully, and making the people around you sharper.
