Let's talk about the cool stuff you do at Axi!

You will lead the design and execution of our global Talent Development strategy. This is a high-impact, strategic role responsible for building frameworks that shape how we assess, develop, and retain our people. You will oversee a global remit across talent assessment, succession planning, leadership development, and performance management, ensuring our people practices align with our growth ambitions.

A critical requirement for this role is proven experience building Talent Development frameworks from the ground up — taking an organisation from 0 to 100 in the early-stage or hyper-growth phase. The ideal candidate will thrive in ambiguity, bring structure where none exists, and create scalable frameworks that evolve with the business.

You will also oversee the L&D delivery function (including the Talent Development Manager role) and ensure alignment between strategic talent frameworks and day-to-day learning initiatives.

Your EDGE Assignment/You Will

• Define and implement a global Talent Development strategy, covering talent assessment, succession planning, and leadership development.
• Design and embed a performance appraisal framework that drives accountability, fairness, and alignment with business goals.
• Build talent development frameworks from scratch that can scale across geographies and adapt to business growth.
• Partner with senior leadership and HRBPs to identify and develop critical talent pipelines.
• Lead succession planning processes and ensure readiness for key leadership roles.
• Oversee L&D delivery and ensure operational programs (onboarding, training, LMS, curriculum design) align with the broader talent development strategy.
• Monitor talent development metrics and provide insights to senior leadership and the board.
• Stay ahead of market trends in performance management, leadership development, and talent assessment.

Are you the one?

• 10+ years of experience in Talent Development, Organisational Development, or related fields, with at least 3–5 years in a leadership role.
• Proven track record of building Talent Development frameworks from 0–100, ideally in startup or high-growth environments.
• Strong expertise in talent assessment, succession planning, performance management, and leadership development frameworks.
• Experience overseeing L&D functions and ensuring alignment between strategy and delivery.
• Global exposure, with experience working across Asia and Europe strongly preferred.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at executive and board levels.
• Strong analytical and data-driven mindset, with the ability to measure impact and continuously improve frameworks.
• Advanced degree or certifications in Organisational Development, HR, or related fields are a plus.
