Director of Talent Management

Director of Talent Management

Remote (U.S. Based) | Reports to: CHRO | Team: People & Culture

Mission: Make performance real, talent visible, and org design not just a slide in a deck.

About Togetherwork

Togetherwork is a high-growth software and payments company powering niche communities and vertical SaaS businesses. Backed by private equity, we're scaling a portfolio of 25+ companies-and building the kind of people strategy that doesn't rely on wishful thinking or vague values posters.

We're customer-obsessed, allergic to mediocrity, and dead serious about building a culture of accountability, clarity, and growth. We don't just want someone to "own talent"-we want someone who will sharpen it, stretch it, and make sure it shows up in business outcomes.

The Role

We're looking for a Director of Talent Management to architect, activate, and continuously level-up how we grow, manage, and retain talent. This isn't a "legacy HR" role-it's strategic and execution-heavy, with direct access to the CHRO and exec team.

You'll lead performance enablement, org design, learning strategy, and manager development across our ecosystem. And yes, we need someone who understands Lattice or 15Five-but more importantly, someone who knows how to turn tools into impact.

What You'll Actually Do

Performance Management That's Worth the Name

• Lead our performance systems rollout (Lattice, 15Five) and make it stick.
• Drive a culture of feedback, goal clarity, and data-driven calibration.
• Embed the 12-box process like it's second nature, not an annual event.

Org Design with Teeth

• Partner with business leaders on structure, leveling, and capability mapping.
• Use data and diagnostics to drive real conversations-not just org charts.
• Support restructures, integrations, and other "fast growth growing pains."

Learning That Builds Capability (Not Just Content)

• Build programs for onboarding, manager effectiveness, and functional upskilling.
• Implement tools that scale learning without dumbing it down.
• Create a manager capability model and training that makes real-world sense.

Talent Programs That Tie to Results

• Design programs for engagement, succession, internal mobility, and DEI alignment.
• Use insights (not vibes) to drive better decisions across the talent lifecycle.
• Be the internal force that says, "Cool story-now let's measure it."

You Might Be the One If...

• You've led talent management, org dev, or HRBP work in fast-moving companies (8-12 years total experience; 3+ in leadership).
• You've scaled talent practices from the ground up-ideally in SaaS or PE-backed firms.
• You're fluent in performance frameworks (OKRs, 12-box) and tools like Lattice or CultureAmp.
• You think in systems but execute in steps.
• You're a strong cross-functional partner who plays well in the sandbox but pushes the work forward with urgency.
• You bring a tireless work ethic, a collaborative spirit, and a healthy impatience with the status quo.
• You're as comfortable advising execs as you are building a manager workshop.
• You operate with clarity, grit, and a bias for action.

What You Get

• A chance to build the talent strategy at a company that actually wants one.
• Executive-level support for modern people practices.
• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits.
• A culture that values accountability, transparency, and good humans.

Apply if: You're a builder, not a babysitter.

Skip if: You think "talent management" means running a calendar of feel-good programs.
