Talent Development Director

Overview

Are you passionate about nurturing leaders and building values-aligned cultures? Join Bridge for Billions as our Talent Development Director and shape how we grow — as individuals, teams, and a global purpose-driven organization.

About Bridge for Billions

Bridge for Billions is a global social enterprise on a mission to build more inclusive and sustainable economies through early-stage entrepreneurship. We design and run incubation programs for entrepreneurs from all backgrounds and collaborate with local partners to strengthen ecosystems. We believe in fostering local innovation to create jobs, solutions for all, and a more prosperous world.

First, an important note

Data shows that men on average apply for a role if they meet 70% requirements while women often only do so if they meet 100%. We work hard to be clear and specific about what our roles include and encourage you to apply if you see a strong (but not necessarily perfect) fit between you and the opportunity.

Your Mission

Your mission is twofold : support our People Leaders in becoming confident, values-aligned leaders capable of building high-performing teams, and steward our People Experience (PX) vision to align culture, strategy, and real team needs.

You’ll embed coaching, service design, and strategic leadership into our daily practices, working closely with the leadership team, Head of Engagement, and People Leaders.

You’ll manage our People Ops Manager, collaborate with Talent Acquisition, and oversee freelance support.

Your north star : help Bridge mature as an organization — strengthening leadership and systems while preserving our spirit and values.
