With 8 to 10 years of relevant experience,

whether in talent management, consulting, the business or a combination of these, you are ready to lead a team and shape the next chapter of talent development at delaware.

what will you be doing? As our Talent Development Lead, you will

lead the Talent Development team

and help define how we build the capabilities delaware needs for the future. You will create clarity, set priorities and support team members in doing their best work. Through coaching, honest feedback and open conversations, you will create an environment where people feel trusted and encouraged to grow.

This is a

hands-on leadership role . You will work closely with business leaders, team leads, HR colleagues and subject-matter experts to understand where delaware is heading and what our people need to succeed. Rather than simply responding to training requests, you will ask the right questions, connect initiatives to strategic priorities and turn business needs into relevant talent development and capability-building solutions.

You will

shape the direction of Talent Development , building on what works while challenging us to think differently where needed. You will create a clear approach across learning journeys, bootcamps, leadership programs and development initiatives for different career levels, ensuring that our portfolio remains practical and connected to the realities of our people and customers.

Together with your team, you will

improve existing programs and design new initiatives

where they add real value. You will work with internal experts and external partners, define clear outcomes, use feedback thoughtfully and look beyond participation figures to understand whether an initiative truly makes a difference.
