Our Company

BrightSpring Health Services

Overview

The Talent & Workforce Strategy Partner serves as the enterprise level talent strategist for one or more large, complex Lines of Business within BrightSpring’s diverse $14B portfolio. Due to the scale, operational diversity, and market complexity of our businesses, each assigned LOB represents an enterprise in its own right. This role develops and executes multi year (3 year) workforce strategies that directly influence operational performance, workforce stability, talent availability, and leadership pipeline strength. The Partner owns measurable workforce outcomes, leads enterprise-wide talent programs, and ensures the assigned LOB is competitively positioned in national labor markets.

Operating as the strategic advisor to executive leadership, the Partner blends market intelligence, workforce analytics, organizational design, and talent systems optimization to drive sustainable results.
