Job Description

We are looking for a Vice President Talent who will have broad responsibility and operate as a close partner to and directly report to the Chief Human Resources Officer. Leading a team of four global direct reports, you will partner with Rockwell's HR leadership and senior executives to evolve and lead an integrated talent strategy that is directly aligned with strategic goals. To support Rockwell's dispersed global workforce, you will implement and evolve programs to enhance the talent lifecycle, including recruiting, onboarding, training, career development and succession planning, leadership development, performance management, and engagement.

You will help bring the end-to-end talent strategy to life by advising business leaders on how to align structure, leadership, culture, and talent to achieve their unique business goals. As an advocate of equitable and inclusive talent solutions, the Vice President Talent will influence and build relationships to empower leaders. It is critical that data is at the center of these changes – first for making a business case, then for regular continuous improvement and measurement mechanisms.

• Deliver expertise, consultation, and direction in learning and development, instructional design, learning technology, and performance support.

Talent Acquisition

• Support business leaders across the enterprise to engage and retain great, diverse talent.
• Guide the team in developing new sourcing strategies, building talent pipelines, managing external partnerships (e.g., colleges, portals, and vendors), and expanding external employee branding efforts.
• Improve the design and adoption of the best recruiting practices at all levels.
• Develop recruitment metrics to track effectiveness of programs, sources, and technology to meet established goals. Track and use attraction and retention data for ongoing hiring process improvement.

Strategic Workforce Planning

• Promote transparency of skill-based requirements for career progression through the inventory and development of the main skills required to progress our strategic framework.
• Oversee the development and operation of our early careers programs including partnering on the Leadership Development Programs for each business.
• Using a data-driven approach, serve as a strategic partner to the HR and executive leadership to ensure the business has the right people in the right jobs at the right time.

Employee Experience

• Develop a holistic employee listening strategy that is scalable and captures the full spectrum of the employee experience for continuous improvement and to strengthen our culture.
• Apply a data-driven and story-telling approach when analyzing large datasets, distilling insights and conveying findings. Leverage these insights to evolve and give direction for new talent and engagement strategies.
• Continue to connect performance management processes to align with company values, primary competencies, and plans. Refine our ability to measure talent data to track potential, gauge program effectiveness, and provide feedback for development.
• Identify gaps within and improvements for current technology, processes, analysis, and development systems while modernizing the HR organization.
