HR Talent and Development Specialist
People Development Specialist
MISSION We are looking for a
HR Talent and Development Specialist
who is passionate about human growth, performance, and talent development. This role is at the heart of Optimy’s ambition to building a high-performing, continuously learning organization.
You will drive the design and implementation of systems that empower our people to thrive, grow, and evolve within the company. You will also contribute to company culture by organizing team events and supporting overall employee experience. You will also be responsible for managing the recruitment process for some roles.
This position is fully focused on
Soft HR
— no payroll, no legal, no admin except to help as backup for basics if your colleague is absent.
Responsibilities 1. Competency Mapping & Frameworks Build a comprehensive
competency matrix
that reflects the skills, attitudes, and behaviors required at different levels and roles. Map all existing team members into the matrix based on seniority and function. Establish clear links between the competency matrix and performance expectations at each role level. 2. Evaluation & Feedback Cycles Design and lead
bi-annual performance evaluation cycles
led by team managers. Ensure feedback is constructive, actionable, and used to guide decisions. Integrate performance indicators and measurable outcomes into evaluations — enabling managers to assess not only soft skills and competencies but also goal achievement and delivery. 3. Development Planning From evaluation insights, design
individual learning & development plans . Set up
team-wide training strategies
based on recurring themes. Identify and coordinate with training partners, coaches, or internal experts. Use performance data to identify development needs and potential, ensuring learning investments are directly tied to business impact. 4. Manager Enablement & Advisory Build close relationships with managers, supporting them regularly on team development topics. Act as a sparring partner to help them navigate growth challenges in their teams. Help managers connect development discussions with team performance targets and KPIs. Support managers in addressing and resolving interpersonal issues or team conflicts as a neutral, trusted partner. 5. Talent Acquisition Be in charge of a few positions in the
hiring processes
at any given time. Ensure this recruitment workload supports — not distracts from — your core mission. 6. Culture & Experience Organize team-building activities, company events (both small and large), and initiatives that reinforce team cohesion and engagement. Be a key contributor to the employee experience, helping to maintain an energizing and inclusive workplace culture, including volunteering activities. 7. Operational Flexibility While not responsible for HR admin, you may act as a backup in rare cases where support is temporarily needed (e.g. absence of the admin person).
