byteSpark.ai • Full-time • دبي, AE • 1d ago

📌 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

A client of byteSpark.ai is seeking an experienced Talent Management Manager to join a well-established insurance company with operations across the UAE. Based in Dubai, this role sits within the HR function and reports directly to the Head of Human Resources. The core accountability is to build and mature the talent management infrastructure, designing performance management frameworks, succession pipelines, career pathing structures, and learning and development programmes for a workforce that spans technical insurance professionals, commercial and distribution teams, UAE nationals, and expatriates. Candidates must bring a minimum of six to eight years of HR experience with at least three years in a dedicated talent management, organisational development, or learning and development role, and must have a strong working knowledge of the UAE labour market including Emiratisation requirements and the dynamics of managing a diverse national and expatriate workforce. Prior exposure to insurance, financial services, or a similarly regulated industry is a significant advantage. This is not a generalist HR role and is not suitable for candidates without a proven track record of designing and owning talent frameworks in a professional services or regulated environment.
