• Facilitate training sessions for People Business Partners and managers engaged in talent management programs.
• Proactively investigate and analyze program efficiencies and recommend improvements and solutions.

• You are comfortable delivering content to different audiences, and adapt your style accordingly.
• You communicate with precision and clarity.
• You know when to ask for help, and pick-up new skills quickly.
