You will partner directly with the division's executive team and with C-level stakeholders, shaping how the organization is built, led, and scaled. Alongside the strategic work, you will lead cross-organizational projects end to end — from framing the problem to landing the change in the field. **What you'll be doing** **Strategic partnership with division management** - Serve as a trusted advisor to the division's leadership team and C-level stakeholders on organizational strategy, structure, and talent. - Translate business strategy into a people agenda — and defend it with data and a clear point of view, including when it means disagreeing with senior leaders. - Anticipate organizational risk before it becomes a business problem. **Lead cross-organizational projects** - Own complex, multi-site initiatives that cut across functions, geographies, and the US HQ–Israel axis. - Drive them personally: scope, stakeholder alignment, design, execution, and measurement. **Organizational design and development** - Lead org design and redesign — structure, roles, decision rights, spans and layers, operating rhythms. - Design and deliver OD interventions that measurably improve team and organizational effectiveness. - Guide team formation, integration, and development, including in reorgs and post-acquisition contexts. **Talent and leadership** - Lead organizational and talent reviews, succession planning, and capability building for critical roles. - Coach and develop senior managers and managers-of-managers on performance, career development, org leadership, and employee relations. - Design and personally facilitate leadership development programs. **Change management** - Design and execute change, communication, and engagement strategies for significant organizational shifts. **Delivery and analytics** - Partner with HR COEs and HR Operations to land global HR initiatives locally without losing the intent. - Use Workday, Workforce Dashboard, and your own analysis to make evidence-based recommendations. **What you should have** **Required** - Bachelor's degree; Master's in OD, Organizational Psychology, Behavioral Sciences, or HR — a strong advantage. - 10+ years of HR experience, including HRBP responsibility at division or business-unit level. - Proven track record partnering with executive-level leaders — with real evidence of influencing decisions, not just supporting them. - Experience in a global corporation headquartered in the US — comfortable operating across matrix reporting lines, HQ-driven processes - Demonstrated ownership of cross-organizational projects with measurable business outcomes. - Strong business acumen: able to read a business challenge, diagnose the organizational root cause, and recommend a solution the business will actually adopt. - Excellent English, written and spoken. **Advantage** - Experience in multidisciplinary, engineering- or technology-intensive organizations - Deep organizational development and organizational design experience: you have led OD interventions and org redesigns yourself, not sponsored them. **Who will succeed here** - **Both altitudes, no ego.** You can frame a three-year organizational strategy and also build the deck, clean the data, and run the session yourself. Nothing is beneath you. - **Independent operator.** You bring a point of view, you don't wait for direction, and you're comfortable being the only HR person in a room full of executives. - **Resilient in ambiguity.** Priorities shift; you re-anchor quickly rather than stall. - **Credible with technical leaders.** You earn trust with substance and evidence, not process. **Additional Information** **Time Type:** Full time **Employee Type:** Assignee / Regular **Travel:** Yes, 10% of the Time **Relocation Eligible:** No Applied Materials is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
