Director, Organizational Development

About the role

Organizational Diagnosis & Design Support the VP of OD in building LS&Co.'s OD methodology, frameworks, and tools - owning specific components and helping establish the processes and ways of working that allow the function to deliver consistently at scale. Partner with HRBPs and business leaders to assess organizational health, identify gaps, and lead end-to-end org design and operating model projects that align structure with LS&Co.'s strategic direction. Contribute to the design of governance models, decision rights frameworks, and operating norms that help leaders navigate structural complexity. Translate complex organizational problems, business needs, and capability gaps into clear documents - problem statements, business cases, recommendations - that drive alignment and influence decisions at the senior level. Design and facilitate leadership alignment and team effectiveness interventions as part of org design work, including diagnostics, working sessions, and post-change team resets - and guide HRBPs and leaders in addressing the human side of restructuring alongside the structural changes. Assess and continuously improve OD programs and interventions, building a feedback loop that strengthens the function over time. Change Management & Transformation Partner with the VP of OD to build LS&Co.'s CM capability - owning specific methodology components, tools, and templates, and helping socialize a shared framework that HRBPs and people leaders understand and can apply. Develop and lead change management strategies for key initiatives - including operating model shifts and enterprise transformations - partnering with program leads and connecting CM to L&D, communications, and people leader practices. Treat behavior change as a core part of any change effort - supporting leaders and teams in building the norms, habits, and ways of working needed to make change stick, and coaching people leaders to sustain change without OD dependency. Synthesize stakeholder input, data, and change impacts into clear written materials - business cases, problem statements, executive briefings - that articulate the case for change and influence decisions at the senior level. Design feedback mechanisms to measure adoption and continuously improve messaging, channel strategy, and change outcomes. Partnership & Stakeholder Influence Support the VP of OD in establishing the function's credibility and operating model - serving as a primary point of contact for HRBPs, business leaders, and COEs, and building the trusted relationships needed to make new processes and governance stick. Co-create integrated solutions with HR partners that connect talent, organizational, and leadership priorities to business context, while maintaining consistency in approach across the enterprise. Navigate complex organizational dynamics, influencing across stakeholder groups without direct authority and maintaining alignment and transparency on OD initiatives. Measurement & Continuous Improvement Establish, track, and report OD metrics that demonstrate impact; monitor intervention effectiveness and recommend adjustments based on feedback and results. Contribute to the evolution of LS&Co.'s OD methodology and stay current on external best practices and emerging trends. Actively explore and apply automation, AI, and agentic AI tools to accelerate capability-building - scaling diagnostics, streamlining program development, and improving the consistency and efficiency of OD and CM delivery.
