Talent & Development Partner

About the Role:

IPSY is looking for a Talent & Development Partner — a rare operator who can architect how we build organizational capability while also rolling up their sleeves to design and execute with excellence. This role owns five core areas: talent management (talent reviews, succession planning, executive coaching), learning strategy, core people cycles (performance management, engagement and pulse surveys), culture, and AI enablement, leading the workforce through the AI transformation, building the confidence, fluency, and habits that turn AI into a real competitive advantage.

Highly visible and high-impact, this role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution, connecting business needs to the programs, cycles, and experiences that deliver on them. It’s ideal for someone who is self-directed, is energized by the role of AI in modern work, and partners closely with People Business Partners and leaders to build critical org capabilities.

• Partner with teams to diagnose development needs and implement targeted learning and effectiveness interventions
• Own performance management cycles, engagement surveys, and pulse programs, translating insights into actionable org-level strategies
• Build scalable frameworks, toolkits, and processes to drive consistent, high-quality people experiences across the organization
