Head of Talent Development at Canonical

This role is designed for a high-intellect, senior leadership expert with a strong academic background and deep experience in talent development within the tech sector. The ideal candidate has a sophisticated understanding of remote team dynamics and knows how to build management frameworks for a global, distributed workforce. You should be data-driven, comfortable with organizational psychology, and capable of building a new function from the ground up. As a key leader in a profitable, remote-first company, you will shape the future of how 1,200+ employees collaborate across 75 countries. Standout perks include a $2,000 annual learning budget, performance-based bonuses, and the unique opportunity for global travel—meeting your colleagues in person 2–4 times a year for strategy "sprints" in worldwide locations. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have a track record of designing leadership development programs for remote or hyper-growth tech companies. * Excel at using analytics and metrics to measure the ROI of training and development initiatives. * Are a "builder" who can define a global learning framework while managing a budget and new team. * Appreciate a "fearlessly global" culture that values high academic standards and intellectual curiosity.
