Job Description
At LinkedIn, we trust each other to do our best work where it works best for us and our teams. This role offers a hybrid work option, meaning you can both work from home and commute to a LinkedIn office, depending on what’s best for you and when it is important for your team to be together.
This role can be based in Mountain View, San Francisco, or Chicago.
At LinkedIn, we are doubling down on our skills-based organizational strategy. If you are someone who wants to directly impact and drive our skills-based talent strategy for LinkedIn employees, we have the opportunity for you. As a Talent Architect, you’ll be responsible for helping us to build our internal talent architecture. Not only will you be working alongside a team of Talent Architects, but you will be partnering with senior leaders across the business, HR Business Partners (HRBPs) and other Global Talent Organization (GTO) leaders. Talent Architecture is one of GTO’s core priorities.
Talent Architecture is a team that will offer a dynamic opportunity to learn and get direct exposure to our talent operations that drive our company every day. If you are someone who likes to build from the ground up, likes to solve interesting and complex challenges, and who is comfortable with ambiguity, this is the role for you.
Responsibilities:
In your day-to-day work, you’ll be interacting with HRBPs, GTO partners (such as Compensation, Talent Acquisition, Talent Development, and many others), business leaders, our vendor partner, and your team members to accomplish our ambitions of re-building our talent architecture foundation for our company.
- You will partner on projects that will enable us to be successful in implementing skills strategies on both sides of the talent equation: demand (i.e., what skills do our roles require?) and supply (i.e., what skills do our employees have?).
- You will be responsible for a set of roles (e.g., engineering, sales, cross-functional), orchestrating the job analysis process (alongside a vendor) to identify the responsibilities, skills and skills proficiencies for employees in an org. You’ll analyze roles that exist and recommend changes as needed, coordinating with HRBPs, Comp, and the business.
- As the point of contact within your segment, you will be responsible for communications, project management, change management, and deliverables for that segment. Your role will require upskilling relevant parties (e.g., the business, HRBP teams, TA team, etc.) on talent architecture and aligning the work to key outcomes for your partners.
- Given the size and start-up nature of the team, you’ll have multiple projects at any time and will have to be agile and flexible as we develop our approach and process.
Our work will unlock:
- Greater internal mobility by helping employees see how the skills they have match the skills for the roles they want
- Improved performance practices and career conversations between managers and employees based on clear, consistent role documentation
- Increased consistency within our hiring process that is based on a candidate’s skills and experiences
- Improved agility in workforce planning
