Talent Manager, Operations Manager, Program / Project Manager, HR Manager
We are searching for a Director or VP of Talent Development & Engagement for a high-growth, multi-brand commercial services platform operating nationally across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and controls.
This is not a maintenance role. It is a build-and-scale mandate.
The organization is in a significant growth phase, backed by an engaged board and executive team that expects professionalization, stronger succession planning, and leadership capability that can scale with the business.
The Chief People Officer is looking for a hands-on leader who can architect, operationalize, and deliver a modern talent development strategy across a field-based, geographically dispersed workforce.
What This Leader Will Own
- Enterprise talent and succession strategy for critical roles and emerging leaders
- Skills gap assessment and development roadmap aligned to aggressive growth plans
- Frontline leader training and leadership capability building
- Apprenticeship and career pathing governance across trade and professional populations
- Performance management partnership with HRBPs, ensuring practical field adoption
- Implementation and optimization of talent systems, including succession and development planning tools
- Internal talent communications infrastructure and governance
- Design and facilitation of high-impact leadership sessions and enterprise meetings
The bulk of the mandate centers on learning and development, including designing programs, facilitating sessions, conducting needs analyses, and translating strategy into field-ready execution.
This role will likely have the opportunity to build a small team as the function matures.
Profile Sought
We are looking for a talent leader who has:
- Built and scaled learning infrastructure inside a complex, multi-site organization

- Led formal succession planning and individual development planning processes
- Worked in a matrixed or center-of-excellence environment
- Influenced founder-led or operationally driven leaders through change
