Job Description

About the Role

In modern enterprises, diversity and inclusion are not programs; they are foundational capabilities that shape leadership, innovation, and long-term performance. We are seeking a Director of Diversity and Inclusion Officer to lead, scale, and embed a comprehensive D&I strategy across a global organization operating at enterprise scale.

This role is designed for a senior leader who understands how to move beyond symbolic initiatives and build measurable, durable inclusion outcomes across talent systems, leadership behaviors, and organizational culture. The Director will own the enterprise D&I roadmap, aligning inclusion priorities with business strategy, workforce planning, ESG commitments, and long-term value creation.

As a trusted advisor to executive leadership, this role will influence how the organization hires, develops, promotes, and retains talent, ensuring equitable access to opportunity and fostering a culture where diverse perspectives drive better decisions and innovation. The Director will partner closely with HR, Talent, Learning, Legal, and Business Leaders to embed inclusion into operating rhythms, governance, and performance management.

This is not a communications or compliance role. It is a mandate to institutionalize inclusion as a strategic advantage, supported by data, accountability, and leadership ownership across the enterprise.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Lead enterprise-wide diversity and inclusion strategy aligned with business objectives and ESG commitments.

  • Design and execute multi-year D&I roadmaps with clear priorities, milestones, and measurable outcomes.

  • Partner with Talent Acquisition and HR to embed inclusive hiring, promotion, and development practices.

  • Establish metrics, dashboards, and reporting to track representation, equity, engagement, and leadership outcomes.

  • Advise senior leaders on inclusive leadership behaviors and culture transformation initiatives.

  • Lead and govern Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), councils, and inclusion networks.

  • Oversee pay equity, policy reviews, and systemic barrier assessments in partnership with HR and Legal.

  • Integrate D&I principles into leadership development, performance management, and succession planning.

  • Coordinate internal and external communications related to D&I progress and transparency reporting.

  • Monitor external trends, benchmarks, and best practices to continuously evolve strategy.

Job Qualifications and Requirements

  • 10–15+ years of experience in diversity and inclusion, organizational effectiveness, HR, or culture transformation roles.

  • Proven success leading enterprise-level D&I initiatives within large, complex organizations.

  • Strong experience using data, analytics, and KPIs to measure inclusion and equity outcomes.

  • Demonstrated ability to influence senior leaders and drive change without direct authority.

  • Experience aligning D&I strategy with ESG, workforce planning, and business priorities.

  • Strong understanding of employment practices, compliance considerations, and organizational change.

  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree or relevant certifications preferred.

Personal Capabilities and Qualifications

  • Strategic thinker with strong execution discipline and follow-through.

  • Executive presence with the credibility to challenge and advise senior leadership.

  • High emotional intelligence, empathy, and cultural awareness.

  • Data-driven and outcomes-focused, not program-centric.

  • Skilled facilitator comfortable leading complex and sensitive discussions.

  • Resilient, pragmatic, and trusted as a confidential advisor.

Strategic Support

  • Serve as a strategic advisor to the CHRO, executive leadership team, and governance committees.

  • Support enterprise strategy by aligning culture, leadership behaviors, and inclusion outcomes.

  • Contribute to ESG reporting, stakeholder communications, and board-level updates.

  • Partner on organizational transformations, growth initiatives, and workforce evolution.

  • Enable leaders across the organization to own and operationalize inclusion.

Working Conditions

  • Hybrid executive work environment with global collaboration.

  • Regular interaction with senior leaders, ERG leaders, and cross-functional partners.

  • Periodic domestic and international travel for leadership sessions and enterprise initiatives.
