Job Description

• Partner with senior engineering leaders, including VPs, to understand their organizations, priorities, and challenges, and translate these into clear people and business priorities. • Drive and support job architecture changes in Engineering, including the introduction of new levels, to help leaders adopt and mature consistent role expectations and career paths. • Lead and facilitate key Engineering people processes, such as calibrations, in close partnership with the PBP team and cross-functional partners like Talent Management. • Advise and coach engineering leaders on topics such as organization design, change management, and navigating global teams, including EMEA considerations. • Work closely with other PBPs and Talent partners to share insights, align on approach, and ensure a consistent, high-quality experience for Engineering leaders and their teams. • Use data and qualitative feedback to identify trends in the Engineering organization and recommend actions that improve effectiveness, engagement, and performance. • Support planning and execution of Engineering offsites and other key forums so leaders can align on priorities, make decisions, and move work forward efficiently.
