Business Area Networks (BNEW) is central to Ericsson’s technology leadership and future growth. To strengthen competitiveness, BNEW needs a business-connected talent agenda that builds the leadership bench, critical capabilities, and succession strength required for transformation and long-term performance.

As Head of Talent Management for BNEW, you will set the direction for how the business identifies, grows, and moves talent across critical roles, leadership pipelines, and future capability areas.

The role sits in the BNEW People Experience Team and works closely with BNEW business leaders, People Business Partners, global Talent Management teams, and other People Subject Matter Experts.

What you will do:

• Shape and drive the BNEW Talent Management strategy, aligned to BNEW’s business priorities, transformation agenda, and future capability needs.
• Translate business challenges into a clear talent agenda, proactively engaging with senior leaders to understand current and future leadership, talent, and capability requirements.
• Build leadership, succession, and critical talent pipelines to ensure BNEW has the capability and bench strength required for future growth.
• Lead core talent processes and frameworks, including performance management, talent reviews, diversity and inclusion, employee engagement, and selected high-potential or development programs.
• Enable business transformation by helping leaders build high-performing teams, develop talent, and embed Ericsson's leadership principles and culture behaviors.
• Use talent insights and workforce data to inform decision-making, identify risks and opportunities, measure impact, and support fact-based talent discussions with leaders.
• Improve talent practices, tools, and ways of working in collaboration with global People teams and BNEW Stakeholders to increase business impact and leader effectiveness.
• Represent BNEW in Ericsson talent communities, sharing insights, contributing to enterprise talent practices, and bringing external trends and learning back into BNEW.
