Director, Talent Science at Canonical

This role is designed for a senior people-operations leader with a strong background in I/O Psychology, Talent Science, or specialized HR consulting. You should have a proven track record of using data-driven methodologies to scale hiring processes within the tech sector.

You will influence the talent strategy for one of the most prominent names in open-source software. While the base salary is not specified, the package includes an annual performance bonus, a $2,000 yearly professional development budget, and unique travel perks like Priority Pass for the 2–4 mandatory international team "sprints" held each year. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have an exceptional academic record in Psychology or a related field and experience leading teams in tech or consulting. * Possess "hard" analytical skills, including the ability to analyze talent data using SQL, Python, or advanced statistical tools. * Are an expert in designing selection frameworks that objectively measure high-performance outcomes. * Enjoy a fully remote lifestyle but look forward to traveling internationally several times a year to collaborate in person.
