Being an employee at Children's is more than just protocols and medication rounds—it’s knowing when a hug is the most important thing in the world to a child. It’s knowing that sometimes laughter really is the best medicine. But, most important, it’s giving patients and families exactly the care they need, when they need it.

The Director, Leadership Development will play a significant role in building the leadership capability needed to support Children’s rapid growth by designing and delivering programs and curriculum across all levels of leadership. This position will be responsible for identifying leadership development needs and designing programs that close current leadership gaps and develop future capability.

The Director, Leadership Development leads a team of professionals to deliver solutions aimed at improving leadership skills across the system. Solutions include, but are not limited to, leadership development strategy; in person, virtual, and online learning initiatives; leader assessments and coaching; career center development; talent review and performance management; team building and facilitation; and new leader onboarding/orientation.

Given Children’s growth, it is essential that we cultivate a ready supply of talent. Our people strategy focuses on four main pillars:

• Talent—identify roles that are critical for our growth, and develop career management and internal mobility programs that support development and advancement
• Leadership—understand the system’s needs, and develop programs to ensure a ready supply and pipeline of leadership within the organization
• Organization—streamline and clarify accountabilities for decision making, and drive delegation and empowerment within our service lines and departments
• Communication—encourage two-way dialogue/debate that is clear, respectful, and authentically honest.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to build talent within an organization filled with intelligent, collaborative, hard-working employees who are focused on the mission of providing the best care for the kids across the state of Georgia and throughout the Southeast.
