Brynt Parmeter Takes on Inaugural Chief Talent Management Officer Role at DOD

1 min read

Brynt Parmeter, a talent acquisition executive with decades of combined military and industry experience, has been appointed chief talent management officer at the Department of Defense.

In this inaugural role, Parmeter will work within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness and help drive the DOD Total Force talent acquisition and management strategy, the Pentagon said Monday.

His responsibilities include overseeing reforms for remote and hybrid work arrangements, implementing talent development and tracking practices, promoting flexible career pathways and increasing talent retention.

Parmeter will also engage with officials from the military departments, Joint Staff, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and other interagency partners.

“Growing and shaping our workforce is critical for achieving DoD’s mission to defend the nation now and in the future. That’s why we created and prioritized the new senior-level position of the CTMO,” said Kathleen Hicks, deputy secretary of defense and a 2023 Wash100 Award recipient.

Parmeter joins DOD following a three-year stint at retail chain Walmart, where he served as head of non-traditional talent and senior director for military programs.

He also led talent management initiatives for approximately 160,000 service members at U.S. Army Human Resources Command.
