As part of the Worldwide BST learning team, you’ll help shape how our people develop the skills and capabilities needed for the future. Working closely with L&D leadership, you’ll support the development, delivery, and continuous improvement of learning solutions that build capability and drive business performance. This role will initially support our IT teams and partner closely with the IT L&D Director. You will play a key role in connecting the learning agenda to business priorities—ensuring that learning initiatives deliver measurable value, align with enterprise goals, and help embed a culture of continuous growth and development. Over time, the portfolio of supported functions may evolve, but the focus will remain on enabling the successful execution of our people and capability strategies—driving upskilling, cross-skilling, and readiness for future business priorities.

• Organized with strong execution and attention to detail.
• Navigating ambiguity in a complex, fast-moving environment.

What You’ll Bring
