Partner with the Business

• Work directly with senior HR and business leaders across commercial, medical, and corporate functions

  • Cohort-based programs
  • Action learning tied to business priorities
  • Digital and on-demand leadership tools
• Bring in external perspectives when relevant (e.g., executive coaches, industry experts)

Embed & Sustain Behavior Change

• Ensure leadership development translates into day-to-day behavior
• Partner with Talent & HRBPs to integrate learning into performance, talent, and succession processes
• Create mechanisms for reinforcement (manager enablement, nudges, peer learning)

Measure Leadership Impact

• Define success in terms of leadership effectiveness and business outcomes
• Track impact on engagement, performance, and talent progression
• Use insights to continuously evolve leadership programs

What You Bring

• Strong experience in Learning & Development, with strong focus on leadership development
• Experience in Consumer, pharma, healthcare is an asset
• Proven ability to design and scale leadership programs globally
• Strong understanding of leadership frameworks and behavior change
• Experience working with senior stakeholders and executive populations

How You Work

• You think in terms of systems and impact, not just programs
• You’re comfortable challenging senior leaders and influencing without authority
• You simplify complexity into clear leadership expectations
• You move fast, test, and iterate
• You care deeply about developing people—not just delivering content

Why This Role

• You’ll define and shape leadership at a global dermatology and aesthetics leader
