Your role and responsibilities:
This is an exciting opportunity to shape the talent and leadership development landscape for ABB Electrification across the United States. As the Talent & Learning Partner for Electrification US, you will serve as the connective tissue across five Electrification divisions - supporting more than 8,000 employees across the US geography.
You will partner with divisional HR Business Partners, US EL HR leaders, and the Global Electrification Talent & Learning team to design, scale, and continuously improve talent and leadership development programs. Your work will span the full talent lifecycle: from early talent pipeline strategy through senior succession readiness, ensuring ABB Electrification builds and retains the leaders of tomorrow.
There is a strong preference for candidates to be located near a US Electrification office location to be able to work a hybrid schedule, with a particular note towards Cary, NC. #LI-Hybrid
You will be mainly accountable for:
Talent Strategy & Business Partnership: Develop a deep understanding of strategic business priorities and talent landscape across the five EL divisions in the US. Partner with division HRBPs and US EL HR leaders to translate global Talent & Learning strategy into practical, US-specific action plans.
End-to-End Leadership Pipeline: Define and execute a US-level strategy for leadership talent development across the full talent lifecycle — from early talent identification through senior succession readiness. Create and manage longitudinal tracking and development of high-potential talent from early career through senior leadership, ensuring visibility and continuity throughout the leadership journey.
Succession Planning & Senior Talent Development: Drive effective execution of talent management processes across all five divisions: Talent Identification, People Review Sessions (PRS), succession planning, and Individual Development Plans (IDPs). Monitor and report on succession health indicators: succession depth, readiness ratings, IDP completion, internal mobility, and promotion rates.
Program Scaling & New Program Development: Conduct a structured discovery of existing divisional T&L programs across the five EL divisions; identify best practices with potential for US-wide geographic scaling. Identify common talent development needs not currently addressed by existing programs; scope, design, and launch new US-specific initiatives to fill gaps and maximize development investment impact.
Data, Systems & Continuous Improvement: Ensure all T&L-related data (nominations, participation, development plans) is current and accurate in relevant systems; define and track key talent metrics. Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities to increase program efficiency, business impact, and return on development investment.
