Role summary

China is one of our fastest-growing and highest-impact regions. The Senior Manager, Talent Development shapes how talent grows, how capability scales, and how people experience career growth in a strategic market.

This role centers on building a talent development partner who can drive global programs to local audiences, and effectively engage regional leadership — someone who translates business priorities into targeted learning and development solutions, designs experiences that actually move the needle on capability and engagement, and brings rigor and structure to scaling talent impact across Greater China and Global Payoneer.

What you’ll do

• Execute Talent Development Strategy: Partner with regional leaders (including SVP/Regional GM level) and employees to execute the talent development strategy, aligned to business goals, leadership priorities, and global standards. You'll bubble up regional needs to inform the global strategy and translate business ambitions into capability-building initiatives that matter.
• Build a Scalable Learning Ecosystem: Design and deliver structured learning journeys (onboarding, manager development, leadership readiness, technical/professional skills) that drive measurable capability shifts and meaningful engagement. Use a blend of digital, live, and experiential formats. Rigor matters—outcomes matter more.
• Drive Retention & Capability Through Development: Create relevant learning experiences that deepen capability, accelerate career growth, and signal to employees that Payoneer invests in their future. Track impact— participation is vanity; capability shift and engagement lift are reality.
• Lead with Excellence in Execution: Own end-to-end program management with world-class planning, stakeholder alignment, communication, and operational discipline. Deliver consistently. Measure impact. Show your work.
• Manage Vendors & Partners with Accountability: Identify, evaluate, and partner with learning vendors and platforms (Coursera, etc.). Hold them accountable to quality, ROI, and alignment. You own the relationship and the outcomes.
• Bridge Global + Local: Partner with and work alongside the global Talent Development team to adapt proven global programs for China's context while surfacing innovative local ideas that can scale globally.
• Facilitate & Deliver Learning Experiences: Lead high-impact workshops and experiences in Mandarin and English. Create engaging, practical learning environments where people actually show up and want to participate.

Who you are

• A Seasoned Talent Development Leader:8+ years building talent development, learning, or organizational development in global, high-growth environments. You know how to think strategically about capability and culture.
• Strategic & Commercially Aware: You understand how talent density, capability, and engagement drive business outcomes. You speak the language of revenue-critical markets and growth. You think in terms of impact, not activity.
• An Expert in Learning Experience Design: You know how to create learning that is practical, engaging, and sticky—not theoretical or disconnected. You design experiences people want to be part of.
• A Masterful Executor: You bring exceptional project and program management discipline. You turn strategy into high-quality execution at scale. You are organized, you communicate clearly (written and verbal), and people trust you.
• Smart with Vendors & Technology: You've managed external vendors and know how to negotiate value, hold partners accountable, and leverage modern learning tools and platforms to enhance engagement and scale.
• Influential & Collaborative: You build strong relationships with senior stakeholders and cross-functional partners. You bring clarity, structure, and solutions to the table. People want to work with you.
• Human & Fun(!): You care about people as people, not just headcount. You bring authenticity, warmth, and a genuine sense of fun to your work. You make the work feel less like training and more like growth.
• Bilingual (Required): Fluent in Mandarin and English. You can facilitate live sessions, navigate a global business environment, and communicate with nuance across both languages.
