Position Description: 

At PAR, we’re building the next generation of talent systems where learning, leadership, and performance work together to fuel business growth and readiness for an AI-powered future.

As the Head of Global Talent Strategy, you’ll design and lead the enterprise-wide approach to talent acquisition, talent development, leadership readiness, and workforce capability building. You’ll own the global strategy that connects acquisition, learning, performance, and succession into one seamless ecosystem to build capability at every level, from early career to senior leaders.

This is a role for an architect and builder. Someone who sees talent as a system, connects the dots across programs, and turns insight into action.

Position Location:

Hybrid - Syracuse, NY, Philadelphia, PA, or Chicago, IL

This role operates in a hybrid capacity, with flexibility to work remotely and onsite as business needs dictate. There are no mandated office days; rather, the global Talent team will exercise judgment in determining when in-person presence adds value. Occasional in-person meetings, leadership sessions, and team events will take place in the other company global locations.

Chief Human Resources Officer

• A track record of designing and implementing enterprise talent strategies that link acquisition, development, performance, and succession.

• Experience leading leadership and capability programs that prepare organizations for transformation and growth.

• Strong understanding of career architectures, skill frameworks, and digital/AI readiness programs.

• Deep experience in succession planning, 360 feedback, and leadership assessment methodologies.

• Proven ability to connect data to action using analytics to measure impact and drive decisions.

• Comfort navigating M&A integration and talent assessment during periods of scale or change.

• Exceptional executive presence and influence skills, including Board-level exposure.

• A systems mindset and proven ability to translate how programs interconnect and design for scalability, not silos.

• A builder’s energy with a passion for rolling up your sleeves to prototype, test, and iterate.

• Own performance enablement systems including goal setting, feedback, and talent review tools that elevate accountability and clarity across the organization.

• Lead global learning and development strategy, integrating digital, technical, and leadership curricula that build both depth and agility.
