Eutelsat’s Talent Enablement and Employee Experience Team is on a quest to build an integrated talent management ecosystem to empower our people and enable our business to successfully navigate complexities of an evolving industry and dynamic market.

We are looking for a future-focused and practical talent management architect to shape our talent enablement infrastructure.  This new role will profoundly influence our talent management practices and as such plays a vital role in our overall success.

Who You Are:

A passionate talent management expert with a creative mind that relishes the idea of building systemic talent solutions.  Navigating global environments excite you and tackling complex challenges energize you.

You’ve designed and implemented global talent systems across several companies effectively balancing strategic thinking with tactical execution to drive short-term impact and long-term sustainable change.

Over the years you’ve realised that tailoring solutions to the unique nuances of each organisational landscape is instrumental for effectively harmonising strategy, people and process elements into practical talent solutions that enable business success. Collaboration is part of your DNA and can comfortably influence busy executives using a variety of strategies (i.e. alignment workshops, solution socialisation, and rapid iteration).    

You’re sparked by the idea of being able to design a talent ecosystem from the ground up and eager to roll up your sleeves and make things happen.  

What You’ll Do:

Design and bring integrated talent systems and frameworks to life -- ensuring that all elements of our employee life cycle talent processes are cohesive, scalable and adaptable to the needs of a diverse global workforce to drive strategic execution, foster high-performance, and support long-term business success. Your Initial focus will be on:

Building Global Job Architecture:

• Design and implement comprehensive job architecture framework, establishing clearly defined job families and pathways for management and technical tracks to shape career progression, talent mobility and succession planning practices.

Core Competency Model Design & Implementation:

• Define and implement a dynamic competency framework that drives strategic execution, brings our values to life and defines key success skills, behaviours, and mindsets needed across management and expert career tracks.
• Collaborate across the team to integrate competency models into all elements of our employee lifecycle (recruitment, onboarding, performance, development, succession planning, etc).

Reward Design to Drive Strategy Execution:

• Build a reward system that links compensation and recognition directly to business performance and desired behaviours.
• Ensure that reward practices reinforce both the core competency model and the job architecture, enabling recognition across all career tracks.

Integrated Talent Management: 

• Leverage systems thinking to guarantee that all talent frameworks —job architecture, career pathing, reward systems, competencies, etc —are interconnected to unlock individual employee and business success.
• Establish measurement strategies for assessing system effectiveness and consciously improve talent enablement efforts. 

What it Takes:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Organization Development, or Organizational Change, or a closely related field.
• 10+ years of experience in enterprise organisation development, large-scale business transformation and/or talent management in a global business setting. Deep domain expertise in designing integrated talent management frameworks and systems.
• Proven agility in thriving within dynamic, global, and complex environments while effectively managing multiple priorities.
• Demonstrated track record of successfully designing systemic talent solutions, assessing operational feasibility, leading implementation efforts to completion, and monitoring outcomes. Proven track record of building job architecture, core competency frameworks and reward systems in multiple business environments. 
• Possesses a pragmatic approach to talent management and organization effectiveness practices; able to translate complex talent models into practical business friendly solutions.
• Languages: English required 

What We’d Love:

• Designing and implementing talent systems in post-merger environments
• Experience in satellite communications, telecommunications, or a high-tech field desirable but not essential
