Talent Partner (Special Programs)

Global Payments, including Worldpay, is powering the future of commerce. We’re looking for a Talent Partner (Special Programs) to join our ever-evolving Talent & Partnering Team and help shape the future of global commerce. The Talent & Partnering Team plans the Global Payments talent strategy end to end — designing the organization, defining the resources and pipeline to build, developing critical capabilities, and setting clear accountability.

By placing the right leaders to drive the strategy and the right team members to deliver it, the team ensures fast, effective execution. Partnering closely with the business, Talent & Partnering equips teams, reinforces accountability, and helps us win as one team through Talent Acquisition, Talent Partnering, Organization Design, Succession Planning, Workforce Planning, and Executive Effectiveness.

The Talent Programs & Planning team equips the organization with tools to design structures that deliver the strategy, builds succession pipelines for critical roles, and drives workforce planning to identify current and future skill and capacity needs. They maintain continuous accountability through Talent KPIs and run special programs that accelerate priority talent initiatives.

What you’ll own: The Talent Partner (Special Programs) will bridge the gap between our business strategies and the global talent market, ensuring talent is at the forefront of all programs. Collaborating across the enterprise, this partner will co-create and support high-impact talent initiatives, accelerate program execution, and serve as a connector across workforce planning, skills, hiring, location, and business strategies.

Operating as part of an integrated team, this role partners closely with executive succession planning and organization design, workforce planning, and PCC Business Partners to deliver cohesive, data-driven approaches that align talent outcomes with business priorities.

• Conduct deep research and analysis of global labor markets to identify and map hotspots for critical skills.
• Utilize talent intelligence platforms (e.g., LinkedIn Talent Insights, Gartner TalentNeuron) and other data sources to provide a clear view of talent supply, demand, and cost by market.
• Analyze competitor hiring patterns and university talent pipelines to identify emerging talent hubs and opportunities.

Skills-Based Location Strategy & Playbook:

• Partner closely with HR Business Partners and business leaders to understand their long-term strategic plans and future skill requirements.
• Develop and maintain the company’s “Talent Location Playbook,” a strategic guide that recommends specific locations for hiring different business and corporate functions.
• Create data-driven business cases and recommendations for entering or expanding in new talent markets.

Business Partnership & Advisory:

• Build powerful, collaborative partnerships with leaders across the enterprise to ensure strategies are integrated and talent is at the center.
• Serve as the primary strategic advisor to the Talent Acquisition team, providing them with data and guidance to optimize sourcing strategies.
• Collaborate with peers to ensure all components of talent planning are fully integrated into the company’s overall workforce plan.

What you bring:

• 5+ years of experience in an HR strategy, People Analytics, or Talent Intelligence role.
• Deep expertise in labor market analysis, with hands-on experience using talent intelligence platforms and other data sources to analyze talent pools.
• Proven ability to translate business strategy into a clear, actionable talent strategy.
• Strong understanding of skills taxonomies and the future of work.
• Excellent internal consulting and advisory skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders in HR and the business.
