Everyone can make an impact here. Whether it's improving products, supporting customers, or positively influencing peers and the community, the contributions of our people matter. Shift: The regular hours for this position are day shift. Job Description: The Manager, Leadership Development, Learning and Organizational Effectiveness will play a pivotal role in building FormFactor’s enterprise learning, leadership development, and organizational effectiveness capabilities. This role will help define and shape the strategy, systems, programs, and operating model that enable leaders, teams, and the organization to grow capability, strengthen culture, and execute effectively through FormFactor’s next phase of growth. This role will lead the design and hands-on implementation of our learning and leadership development ecosystem, including leadership development, manager capability, enterprise learning architecture, engagement and listening strategies, culture initiatives, and core organizational effectiveness practices. Partnering closely with HR and business leaders, this role will deliver practical, scalable, and business‑centered solutions that measurably improve leadership effectiveness, capability, and engagement. The ideal candidate brings a builder mindset, strong point of view on what “great” looks like in learning, leadership, and organizational development, and the ability to translate theory and research into adopted, measurable, and operational solutions. They are equally comfortable contributing to strategy and independently driving execution - personally designing content, frameworks, measurement, and systems when needed. Leveraging data, analytics, and emerging AI‑enabled tools, this role will improve leader capability, engagement insight, and organizational effectiveness in a fast‑paced, growing, and global environment. Key Responsibilities: Learning & Leadership Development Partner with HR and senior leaders to shape and execute FormFactor’s enterprise learning and leadership development strategy and operating model, aligned to business priorities, growth strategy, and future capability needs. Establish a coherent leadership development architecture (e.g., first‑time manager, experienced leader, senior leader) with clear outcomes, readiness expectations, and measurement. Design and deliver core learning experiences focused on leadership effectiveness, manager capability, performance leadership, decision making, and enterprise behaviors. Build scalable approaches to formal learning, experiential learning, and on‑the‑job development, translating business challenges into development opportunities. Ensure learning solutions are practical, applied, and measurable, not event‑based or theoretical. Engagement, Listening & Culture Own FormFactor’s enterprise engagement and listening strategy, including survey design, pulse listening, focus groups, and other feedback mechanisms. Translate engagement and culture data into clear insights, risks, and prioritized actions for leaders at all levels. Define, operationalize, and reinforce FormFactor’s culture and leadership behaviors, ensuring alignment between stated values, leader actions, and employee experience. Monitor engagement, culture, and organizational health trends over time and surface enterprise‑level risks and opportunities. Organizational Development & Effectiveness Design and deploy organizational development approaches that strengthen team effectiveness, decision clarity, accountability, and execution. Support leaders through periods of growth, change, and transformation with structured OD tools (e.g., role clarity, operating rhythm, capability assessments). Systems, Tools & AI Enablement Serve as the business owner for learning, engagement, and OD‑related tools, platforms, and vendor solutions. Partner closely with HRIS, IT, and vendors to translate business needs into system requirements and scalable solutions. Leverage data, analytics, and AI‑enabled tools to improve learning personalization, leader insight, engagement analysis, and operational efficiency. Ensure the responsible, ethical, and transparent use of AI that strengthens—rather than replaces—human judgment and leadership. Stakeholder Partnership & Influence Provide clear analysis, insights, and recommendations on leadership effectiveness, engagement, culture, and organizational capability to inform leadership decisions. Deliver executive‑ready narratives, dashboards, and materials that connect learning, engagement, and culture to business performance and outcomes. Partner cross‑functionally with HRBPs, Rewards, Communications, Finance, Legal, IT, and other internal and external partners to ensure alignment and execution. Measurement, Analytics & Continuous Improvement Define and own measurement frameworks for learning impact, leadership effectiveness, engagement, and culture. Track outcomes (not just participation), using data to evaluate effectiveness and guide iteration and investment. Continuously benchmark external best practices and evolve offerings as FormFactor grows in scale, complexity, and global reach.
