As part of the Learning & Development team, you will be responsible for helping us building out our development offering for all staff (with a particular focus on our Senior Leaders and People Managers). You will work with the Head of Talent & Performance to shape & improve capability across the Group.

Key Responsibilities

• Talk to users and other business stakeholders to conduct learning needs analysis by cohort to understand “bottom‑up” requirements from L&D products
• Defining what each L&D product needs to cover: understanding learner needs, defining appropriate learning objectives, linking each product with a cohesive learning journey
• Designing and implementing the products: For in‑house; design high quality products and agree how the products will be implemented (who will facilitate, how frequently it will run, etc.) For external; help with vendor selection and vendor management
• Assessing impact from our L&D programmes, beyond simple user‑reported measures like learner NPS, to thoughtful approaches that help us understand what is and isn’t working
• Developing our approach to key L&D priorities – onboarding new hires, helping people understand our product/business better, training for people managers, performance training, working with compliance to improve their training offer, etc.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for an experienced L&D expert who has a track record of building quality learning experiences in house, can help understand priority learner needs across different cohorts, has built end‑to‑end learning journeys (including potentially working with best‑in‑class 3rd party vendors) and has helped embed a learning culture across their organisations.

Skills & Attributes

• Experienced L&D partner: Has experience partnering and co‑creating with HR teams and users directly
• User‑centric: Has experience in building quality learning products, with thoughtful learner experience and that meets tangible learning needs
• Commercially focused: Is able to understand the business context and align development offer with business goals
• Operationally effective: Will take ownership over the strategy for a particular user group, the plan to operationalise training, the design of content and the execution of the creation / delivery of that content
• Data‑Driven: Uses qualitative data (e.g., user insight) and quantitative data (e.g., engagement data) to assess quality of L&D products and steer priorities

We are also looking for someone willing to experiment with how they work to make L&D more impactful in the business. Taking lessons from Product and Design and thinking about Learning as a lever for commercial impact are both critical in this role.
