What you’ll do

The Culture & Talent Integration Manager is an instrumental and influential role at AlixPartners, focused on managing key Culture & Talent Integration initiatives globally.

Reporting to the Global Head of Career Management, Culture & Talent Integration, this role will lead several high profile workstreams and projects including organic and inorganic talent integration, internal awards and recognition, and a multitude of culture programs and events globally. In this position, you will work across the Talent, People, Learning, Career Management, IT, Office Teams, and several leadership teams to create, evaluate, adjust, and perpetuate best in class programs and strategies that excite and engage colleagues at all levels and geographies. This role requires excellent project management, organization, influence, and communication skills with a working knowledge of global customs, norms, and nuances.  

A core focus of this role is overseeing our Talent Integration programs, which are designed to ensure the successful onboarding of colleagues into the firm - and into new roles within the firm. While some programs are well established, others are new and developing, providing an opportunity you to be innovative as the firm continues to grow globally. Talent Integration touches all areas within the firm. It requires a collaborative approach across global functions and practices to design and implement solutions that drive employee satisfaction, engagement and enhanced time to productivity.

Several programs reside within Talent Integration, including Welcome to AlixPartners (a centrally organized and semi-locally delivered orientation program), Project Fusion (a strategic effort to define and enhance all phase of onboarding), and Jay Talks (a living collection of recorded sessions that expose every colleague to the firm’s culture, journey and The AlixPartners Way). Internal promotion programs and initiatives, post-merger integrations (PMI) from a Talent / People perspective, and several learning functions / programs are also core to this focus and within the scope of responsibility for this role.

Another large opportunity for this role is internal awards and recognition. Our programs showcase who we are, how we operate, and what makes us unique as individuals and a firm. Our internal awards system is vital to maintaining our culture and ensuring our success as we continue to grow. While some of our firm awards have a long history, others have recently been added to recognize important contributions. This role will focus on the continuous improvement, development, and delivery of these initiatives and events. It will also manage the Culture & Talent Integration team in owning, delivering, and managing the end-to-end process for all current and future awards delivered globally at various cadences through the year.

In this role, you will also work closely with stakeholders and senior leadership to ensure the awards system represents the firm’s commitment to living our core values, developing our core competencies, recognizing people, and being a “one firm” firm. Communications planning and delivery, measurement strategy, and event management (both virtual and in-person) are key requirements for these events. Our aim is that every colleague understands, appreciates, and participates in awards and recognition to celebrate our individual and collective successes.
