Here’s what that will look like for you‘¦
• Manage the day-to-day operations of multiple Talent Lab experiences, including:

• Crafting written communication to Talent
• Leading and facilitating experiences and events (both in-person and virtual)

• Provide real-time advice to talent, support in-the-moment
• Interpret and deliver leadership assessment results, such as: DISC, Strengths Finder, etc.
• Play in the “white space” – lead brainstorm sessions and execute on truly unique learning for new and existing experiences

Every week will be different, and you’ll play an important role developing our talent, which is at the heart of our success as a creative company.
