F5 is seeking a Senior Director of Global HR for Strategy & Operations to serve as the primary people strategist and operational co-pilot to two C-Suite executives. This is not a conventional HR management role but rather a strategic partnership position focused on translating macro-level business visions into agile organizational designs, high-impact workforce strategies, and enduring leadership capability.
You will lead a dedicated global cadre of functional HR Business Partners and act as a vital bridge to Centers of Excellence (CoEs) in Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, Leadership Development, and People Analytics. Your core responsibilities span four strategic dimensions:
**C-Suite Advisory & Organizational Architecture:** Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to two C-Suite leaders, stress-testing business plans, diagnosing structural bottlenecks, anticipating leadership gaps, and architecting scalable operating models that accelerate business outcomes.
**Leading a High-Impact Global HRBP Team:** Lead, elevate, and inspire functional HRBPs embedded across the executives' global organizations. Transform the HRBP function from responsive problem-solvers into indispensable commercial advisors by championing business acumen, diagnostic consulting, and proactive talent strategy.
**Co-Designing with Centers of Excellence:** Partner as an equal co-creator with CoE leaders to ensure enterprise-wide frameworks are tailored to functional needs while preserving consistency across the company.
**Executive Succession & Leadership Differentiation:** Orchestrate executive performance calibrations, succession planning, and senior leadership development. Establish a culture of objective differentiation, aligning rewards and growth opportunities with top-tier business impact and strategic leadership behaviors.
F5 is a global technology company focused on cybersecurity, application delivery, and digital innovation. The company emphasizes a diverse, inclusive culture where each individual can thrive.
