Talent Management

Who We Are Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion. Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work. About the Role Notion is entering a new chapter of People work: more AI-native, more strategic, and more focused on building systems that help every Notino do the best work of their career. We're building toward a four-pronged People Consulting model: 1) Strategic People Partners who steer orgs as the consultative layer closest to the business. 2) Talent Management is the systems and programmatic engine layer — talent programs, systems and resourcing work that support our People Partners & talent density. 3) People Relations is the primary arm and escalation point for employee relations. 4) People Operations owns the operational layer of the end-to-end employee lifecycle, a layer we're increasingly scaling through agentic services. We are looking for the right person to join our existing Talent Management arm. This person will help define, operationalize, and continuously improve how we grow talent at Notion. This role sits at the intersection of talent philosophy, people partner strategy and enablement. This is not a siloed program role. It is an extension of our strategic People Partner & Talent Management org: someone who brings deep talent management craft, strong business judgment, and the operating muscle to turn philosophy into practice across the company. What you’ll own 1) Maintain and operationalize Notion’s talent philosophies - Codify and evolve our talent philosophies across performance, growth, leadership, career development, internal mobility, early career, and high-performance expectations. - Translate principles into practical tools, rituals, and operating mechanisms that People Partners and leaders can use. - Ensure our philosophies stay connected to business needs, company strategy, and the realities of how work is changing. 2) Ensure the talent systems we build are durable and make talent expectations clear, consistent, and actionable — without over-programming or adding unnecessary process. - Co-build the programmatic layer & talent engine for People Partners - Help steer and co-build the overall talent enablement engine equipping People Partners to drive higher-quality actions with leaders. If People Partners are consultants, our talent management arm builds the resources to enable talent density. - Keep our core philosophies aligned with our deployment-ready materials: playbooks, manager guides, conversation frameworks, decision tools, calibration support, and coaching resources. - Partner closely with strategic People Partner leaders to identify where enablement is needed most and how it should show up in the business. Develop net new, creative strategies aligned with Notion’s values and vision. - Ensure People Partners are not just consuming talent programs, but actively shaping and deploying them with context and judgment. 3) Enable talent density - Bring the taste, craft, and pattern recognition to understand what different talent segments need to grow. - Design self-service strategies & actions that help leaders develop talent - Power up our mechanisms to better identify, engage, stretch, and retain talent. - Enable our leadership bench. 4) Lead fluid, high-leverage talent strategy projects This role will flex into the highest-priority talent questions of the moment. Examples of historical and potential high-impact projects include: - Early career strategy enablement: helping define the scaffolding, manager expectations, growth model, and experience needed to make Notion a definitive launchpad for early-career talent. - Total rewards exploration: partnering with Total Rewards, Talent, and People leaders to explore what recognition could look like in a more AI-native, high-performance environment. - Role architecture for the next generation of work: rethinking how roles, levels, career paths, and talent systems should evolve as AI changes what people can do. - Internal mobility and talent flow: partnering with People Ops, Recruiting and People partners in creating clearer, higher-touch pathways for high-slope talent to find the right next opportunity inside Notion. - Leadership expectations: supporting the translation of Notion
