Sr Talent Development Specialist

Position Location CA Chico, NC Mills River

Ken Grossman started Sierra Nevada in 1980 with a hand-built brewhouse and the odds stacked against him. That passion forever changed the course of American craft brewing and launched a beer revolution that's in full force today. Turns out, good beer can do a lot of good, and Sierra Nevada became a cornerstone for both its innovation and its care for the Earth and its people.

We’re committed to advancing a culture of inclusion and believe diversity in all its forms makes us stronger. We keep pushing boundaries, whether that’s in the brewhouse, with sustainability, or in the great outdoors.

The Senior Talent Development Specialist leads learning and talent development programs across Sierra Nevada. This role combines program ownership, facilitation, learning systems administration, and support for key talent processes including performance management, succession planning, leadership development, and onboarding. This position serves as the primary administrator and subject matter expert for our Learning Management System (LMS), owns our Manager in Training and Supervisor in Training programs, and coordinates New Employee Orientation (NEO) at either our Chico or Mills River Brewery, depending on where the role is based.

This role partners closely with HR, leaders, and subject matter experts to deliver practical, effective development opportunities for employees and leaders.

We’re committed to our employees and work hard to prove it. For starters, we’re offering $79,113 to $122,229 base compensation for this role. Individual offers are based on skills, experience, and qualifications. This role may be eligible for our bonus program – inquire with our Talent Acquisition Partner for additional details.
But base pay is just the beginning. We support your future by offering a generous 10% company match on 401(k) contributions, providing learning and development opportunities, and fostering your safety at work with ongoing trainings, state-of-the-art equipment, and preventative care. We offer medical, dental, and vision insurance, an onsite medical clinic, as well as mental health and well-being benefits including paid sick leave.
