Role
Who you are
- You are a big-picture thinker that brings bold new ideas from your experience at other global organizations
- You can turn those big ideas into a plan that is grounded in what’s right for OneTrust based on your strong business acumen and relationships with our senior leaders
- You are not afraid to throw out the playbook to try something new or test an innovative idea
- You can shift from that big-picture thinking and easily roll up your sleeves to lead and deliver those key initiatives
- You are a team player that can lend your broad talent management experience to other talent management initiatives and/or coach and mentor other team members
- This person has operated in a People team with a COE model and understands the importance of building strong relationships with HRBPs
- Well-informed POV on the performance management landscape and talent systems
- Ideally, you have operated in a high-growth tech environment where you can operate through process and structure that is still being built or defined
- Building talent management programs from scratch, including a strong bias for action, robust change management and communications in the roll out, and the ability to articulate both measurement and impact of their programs
- Thought Leadership: You're a seasoned, experienced talent practitioner with a well-informed POV on the talent and performance management landscape and systems and vendors. You’re a systems thinker who can leverage data and insights to connect the dots between different processes, systems, and programs and build for the long-term
- Program Design: You can turn your thought leadership into great program designs or processes, etc. You understand OneTrust’s business, where we are today, and where we’re headed so that your designs balance what the company needs right now and in the future
- Stakeholder Management: You’re experienced and savvy in navigating a People org COE model. You know who your key stakeholders are, when to engage them, and when to bring them into your design, implementation, and feedback loops
- Change Management & Comms: You build robust communications and change plans to roll out (or maintain) your programs to drive adoption and engagement. You leverage the right channels, at the right time, to promote your programs. You effectively adjust your messaging / approach based on your audience
- Project Management: You take your commitments seriously and routinely deliver your projects on time, in-scope, and within budget. You proactively communicate when you are at risk of not meeting project milestones
What the job involves
- We are building a stellar Talent Management team that will help ensure that we have the right talent, in the right place, at the right time as we grow and scale. The team is responsible for designing core talent processes, helping to shape our culture and values, the growth and development for all team members, and creating a diverse and equitable employee experience
- We’re a small and scrappy team that’s just beginning the work of building the Talent Management org. There will be days where we are planning, strategizing and designing, others days where we are facilitating workshops, and other days where we are in the weeds with data pulls and logistics. We're looking for a strong operator at all three levels who can shift gears easily
- We are seeking a Principal Program Manager, Talent & Performance, to implement core talent processes and programs for our 2,000+ global employees
- You’ll play a strategic and critical role in building, maturing, scaling our core talent processes (e.g., goal setting, performance management, talent review, and succession planning). You'll leverage the data and insights to partner with HRBPs on org-level strategies and to inform the company-wide programs that we build next
- You’ll partner with the VP Talent Management to build a roadmap for our talent processes that mature to meet our business needs over time, including introducing or refreshing assessment frameworks (e.g., career frameworks, leadership assessments, etc.)
- Your first projects may include:
- Build roadmap for our performance enablement process at OneTrust, including strengthening our goal setting process and team-level enablement to help execute our company strategy
- Execute the FY24 year-end performance and promotion processes
- Build and lead our talent review and succession planning processes to help us ensure a strong leadership bench and talent pipelines
- Build OneTrust’s leadership framework and assessment approach to ensure we have clear expectations and standards for how we hire, assess and develop strong people leaders
Our take
It's becoming clear that as businesses rapidly adopt AI, governance is struggling to keep up. Companies are moving from a handful of tools to potentially hundreds of AI agents, creating new challenges around oversight, data use and risk. As privacy and security concerns grow, organizations are realizing that scaling AI without proper control can introduce just as many risks as opportunities.
That's where OneTrust comes in, with its "AI-powered governance platform" helping organizations track how AI systems operate, what data they access and how it's used. Rather than relying on static compliance checks, it focuses on continuous, real-time monitoring, building on its foundations in privacy, consent and risk management to give companies greater control over complex AI environments.
With more than 14,000 customers, including over half of the Fortune 500, OneTrust is entering a key phase of growth. Under new CEO John Heyman, the company is leaning into the idea that AI governance will become a core business need. As adoption accelerates, OneTrust is positioning itself as a central player in helping enterprise scale AI safely and responsibly.
